Dead Space 2 and 3 now backwards compatible on Xbox One

Dead Space 2 and 3 have been added to the Xbox One's backward compatibility library.

The first Dead Space has already been on there for over a year.

Eurogamer contributor Simon Parkin highly recommended Dead Space 2 upon its 2011 release.

Dead Space 3 didn't rate quite so highly, what with its focus on co-op action, but there's an interesting story for why that is.

Also new to Xbox One backwards compatibility are Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katmai, Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013, Alaskan Adventures, and Cabela's Hunting Expeditions.
