Laurent Giret

Six more games have just been added to the Xbox One Backward Compatibility List today: the most interesting additions are the space survival horror games Dead Space 2 and 3, which now join the first episode of the critically-acclaimed trilogy. On a little less exciting note, Xbox’s Major Nelson also announced that four different Cabela’s hunting video games are also being added today.

As usual, we’ve added official descriptions, video trailers, pricing details and download links for all games below:

Dead Space 2 ($19.99)

Engineer Isaac Clarke returns for another blood-curdling adventure in the sequel to the critically acclaimed Dead Space™. After waking from a coma on a massive space city known as “The Sprawl”, the lone survivor of a horrific alien infection finds himself confronting a catastrophic new nightmare. Battling dementia, hunted by the government, and haunted by visions of his dead girlfriend, Isaac will do whatever it takes to save himself and dominate the gruesome onslaught. With an arsenal of tools to dismember Necromorphs and new determination, an engineer will bring the terror to space. The nightmare returns in 2011.

He will then put his engineering skills to the ultimate test to create and customize weapons and survival tools. The ice planet holds the key to ending the Necromorph plague, but first Isaac must overcome avalanches, treacherous ice-climbs, and the violent wilderness. Facing evolved enemies and the brutal elements, Isaac can choose to team up, not only for his own survival, but for that of mankind’s.
