Alice: Madness Returns is Microsoft's latest addition to Xbox One Backward Compatibility

So far this week, Microsoft is only adding one new title to the Xbox One Backward Compatibility list: Alice: Madness Returns. New additions tend to arrive on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so we'll likely see more later this week.

Last week saw just three games added, although the week before saw a whopping total of ten, with seven on Tuesday and three on Thursday. Today's addition should leave the list with a grand total of 323 backward compatible Xbox 360 games.

Alice: Madness Returns ($19.99)

Eleven years ago a horrific fire took Alice’s family from her and left her mind horrifically scarred. Afterwards she was confined to Rutledge Asylum, where she struggled to confront her demons by slipping further into her fantasy world of Wonderland. Now, after ten years, she has finally secured her release—yet she still bears the heavy psychological burden of that tragic event. With her mind in tatters, she is unable to resolve the fear prompted by her strange memories, dreams, and visions. Perhaps she’ll do better in Wonderland. She always has. She travels there, seeking what the “real” world can’t provide: security, knowledge, and the truth about the past. But in her absence, Wonderland too has suffered. Something has gone horribly wrong, and now a great evil is descending upon what once was her beautiful refuge. Can Alice save Wonderland—and herself—from the madness that consumes them both?

Microsoft also announced next month's Games with Gold today. Free games for Xbox Live Gold members for the month of February will include Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime and Project Cars Digital Edition for the Xbox One; and Monkey Island 2: SE and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the Xbox 360.

It's also not too late to grab some of January's Games with Gold. You can claim World of Van Helsing: Deathtrap (Xbox One) and Rayman Origins (Xbox 360) until the end of the month; and Killer Instinct Season2 Ultra Edition (Xbox One) will be available until February 15.
