Amalur is a lot of fun if you stick with the main quest mostly. It's live the reverse Elder Scrolls.

Alien Vs Predator is my biggest pre-release hype regret game I have ever had. I don't know why I bought in so hard but I traded in a bunch of stuff to pre-order it.
Unleashed!
Just do a Colors HD port and we're set.
Now it just needs Colors and maybe Heroes (which could be added by way of Xbox b/c) and Lost World and you pretty much have every mainline title worth playing.

Yeah, as a diehard Sonic fanboy it really is a great hub for that series.

Probably EA as the publisher and maybe THQ Nordic, if there was already a set royalties agreement between 38 studios and EA.
A couple tips for anyone planning to play Amalur for the first time..
1. Don't do blacksmithing. It's way too good. It lets you build perfectly-suited gear from scraps, and makes all the loot you find useless for anything other than adding to your pile of scraps. The game is FAR more interesting if you have to rely on the more unique weapons and armor that you find in the world. Basically, blacksmithing in Amalur has a similar effect that the Auction House had on Diablo 3.
2. Be aware of how enemy level scaling works, play on hard difficulty, and avoid over-leveling if you don't want the game to become trivially easy.

Hype for Amalur! Bought it digitally probably a year and a half ago in anticipation for it to arrive on BC, finally paid off. If only it had X enhancements.
This is what I thought as well and never expected it to ever happen. Still wish it also got the "X" enhancement, but still happy that the game is BC compatible and with the other 2 games!
Amalur? Oh shiiiiiit. Always wanted to give that one a shot. Kinda want to wait though because it wouldn't surprise me at all if it ends up in a sale soon.
Probably stupid question, but I am gonna assume the disc versions will also work, right? Only BC games I bought were digital.

I don't blame ya, the game had hype trailers and good marketing. The campaign and multiplayer had its moments but it was overall pretty mediocre.

Remember THQ Nordic bought the IP rights to it 3 months ago and with EA as the publisher and both companies supportive of BC, it was inevitable it was going to happen soon.
Even a stable 30 would be an improvement. I don't think the 360 version was quite as bad, but on the PS3 version of Unleashed the frame rate could drop into single digits in Jungle Joyride.
Just ordered a pre-owned copy from eBay, excited to play it.
