Characters from Lego Batman 2 queue to buy the game they all appear in. Our email inboxes here at Gamesblog are deluged daily with press releases and PR stunts to promote games. And, being the hard-nosed, cynical journalists that we are, those emails usually end up in the bin in about 10 seconds flat. But sometimes, just sometimes, along comes a PR stunt that's just too cute to bin. This is one of those times. A PR agency sent us the image above of the Lego mini-figures lining up outside the GAME store on Oxford Street in London to buy themselves copies of Lego Batman 2 at midnight last Thursday, and for once we really could not resist. As you can see. But it does raise some questions. Why did Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern and the rest have to line up to buy a game that they star in? Surely the distributor, Warner Bros Interactive, could have easily slung each of them a free copy? Who was protecting the world from villainy while the heroes were all standing in line to buy a video game?
And finally, how did they manage to elude the street sweepers? Of course, it should come as no surprise that Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes has gone straight to No 1 on the game chart. And that Guardian reviewer Nick Cowen calls it "easily the best Lego game we've seen in years". Developer Traveller's Tales has, for many years, been making these brilliant, fun, playable – and yes, cute – Lego games beloved by kids and adults alike. OK, that's more than enough cuteness (and PR puffery) for one day. We'll be back to our normal, cynical selves tomorrow.

Make the: The Lego Movie completely omits several of the licensed characters that make appearances in the film itself, such as , and . Furthermore, is omitted despite its relevance to the plot, and one of the major plot points is completely glossed over - The Reveal that the entire story is really just a boy playing with his Lego is kept, but the subsequent reveal that Lord Business and his plot to freeze everything is based on his father's desire to stop his son from messing up his Lego kits is cut out of the story
, removing all context for Lord Business' Heel�Face Turn.For more than a year now, you have been able to play Xbox 360 games on an Xbox One or Xbox One S (reviewed here). Not all of your old library of games are playable, but there are well over 300 titles currently available. Xbox is also adding to this list regularly as new titles are checked and cleared for release.But do you have to do anything different to get it to work? Exactly how will Xbox 360 games play on an Xbox One? And can you buy Xbox 360 games on an Xbox One? Here's our handy guide to the feature.Microsoft first announced that it would be adding backwards compatibility to its current generation console during E3 2015, and the initial wave of 104 games arrived in November that year.The Xbox One is able to play Xbox 360 games through emulation software that makes the console think it's a last generation machine for the purposes of playing older games.When a supported Xbox 360 game is started on the machine, the Xbox One opens the emulator and, in all regards, the game works as if it was running on an Xbox 360.
The 360's opening screen appears first then the game will load.All other aspects and features that would normally be available on an Xbox 360 are be available on the Xbox One too, including the hub (which can be opened through a simultaneous press of the menu and view buttons on the Xbox One controller). In addition, all new features of the Xbox One work, including the ability to take screen grabs and record and share video of gameplay.Although Sony opted for a paid route to play PS3 games on a PS4, through the PlayStation Now cloud gaming platform, Microsoft decided to offer its backwards compatibility for free as part of the November update at the end of 2015.If you own a supported game already, you do not have to pay anything to play it on Xbox One.Obviously, it costs to purchase new Xbox 360 games that work on the machine.Xbox One backwards compatibility works with digital content as well as disc games. In fact, if you enter a supported disc into your Xbox One, the machine will download the game from Xbox Live first - although you will need the disc to be in the machine each time you play.
If you own a digital copy of a supported game it appears in your games list ready for download. Check your Games and Apps hub to see if any are listed among the games yet to be installed.Since the March 2016 update compatible Xbox 360 games have been listed for purchase on the Xbox One game store. If you are an Xbox Live Gold member, you now also see free Xbox 360 games to download each month alongside Xbox One titles as part of the Games for Gold scheme.That means you get two free Xbox One games and two free Xbox One games a month.Prices for the Xbox 360 games on the online store vary, but start at around £3.If you originally set your Xbox 360 to save games to the cloud you will be able to download the save files to the Xbox One version and carry on. The cloud files are permanently associated with your gamertag so the Xbox One should do this automatically.If you only saved your in-game progress locally, to the hard drive, you will need to restart your Xbox 360 and save them to the cloud instead.
