Mafia 2 and the original Prey are now backward-compatible on Xbox One
Microsoft has announced another batch of new additions to Xbox One's ever-expanding backward-compatibility list - this time in the form of Mafia 2 and the original 2006 Prey.
You really couldn't ask for two more different games; one is a rip-roaring open-world crime caper set in the early 50s, the other's a first-person sci-fi shooter featuring physics-confounding portals and spaceships with bumholes for doors.
Mafia 2 certainly has plenty of fans, but it wasn't especially well-liked by John Teti, who reviewed it for Eurogamer back in 2010. Mafia 2, he said, is "a 14-year-old's vision of the mafia, although that slanders the many 14-year-olds who would see through this game's desperation to appear adult". Damningly, he concluded by saying "Mafia II gets the last word by destroying the myth that the mafia is interesting at all".
