I'll still have to hold on to my original xbox on the extreme remote chance I'll ever play Steel Battalion again...

Comence posts of "Damn you M$ for not including X, Y, or Z" in the backwards compatible list.

No Painkiller, XMen Legends I or II, Riddick, Suffering II, or the Warriors? Not to mention the many other titles I can't play on my 360. ((sigh)) Oh well. Maybe someday...

they need to add RalliSport Challenge 2. It is the one game I own for the first xbox that I can't play on my 360; it is also one of my favorites.

Playboy: The Mansion? Hell. Yes.

Well i must say im surprised to see that MS is still adding titles to the BC list. I know everbody whined that they would just give up, but seems like they have done pretty well.

Is there any obscure title left that they haven't covered for someone out there?

Still no Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. Blah, it was the best game on Xbox!

time to go out and re-purchase ESPN NFL 2k5 for 3 bucks. All Pro 2k7 just didn't quite live up.

Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ESPN2k5 is backwards compat..............omfg.....lol

Can we get some compatability for Azurik? Puh-lease! What's a girl to do!?

Just a great underrated game. The same Python-esque humor of Giants:Citizen Kabuto except with more action.

@Queasy:

Damn you Sony for not including [everything] in your 40gb PS3 list.

Crime Life: Gang Wars is BC but XIII and Beyond Good and Evil aren't?

Also: there was a game called "Crime Life: Gang Wars"? Really? Really?

Still no Otogi? That and Steel Battalion were the only XBox exclusives that got me interested. Of course it's moot at this point since I sold both Otogi games, AND my XBox, and Steel Battalion is in storage somewhere. But still!

Still no damn Evil Dead: Regenerations

Still no Warriors?! No MechAssault 1 either. Still have to keep the old beast...

where the hell is Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath???? that game was the cat's pajamas.

Dungeons and Dragons Heroes? Bye Xbox, I loved you, but I found someone new. That game was awesome though, along with Dark Alliance. (Pretty much the same games... Oh well!)

Wasn't 'The Guy Game' taken off shelves here in the US due to a 17yr old lying and appearing on it?

Its funny how all MS is still working on BC and Sony continues to take away from BC.

...and im off to pick up my 3 dollar copy of ESPN NFL 2K5 that i foolishly sold a year ago

I was hoping for Beyond Good and Evil.

Are any of these games worth tracking down? How about Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance? Syberia II?

I found a copy of the very rare, recalled "The Guy Game" at GameStop a year ago and haven't been able to play it on my 360, and eBay wouldn't let me list it. I never thought MS would make it compatible!

Van Helsing? Is there even a single person that WANTS to play that on their 360?

Armed and Dangerous desperately needs a sequel, that game is fun and hilarious.

@Hiro0015:

"The game achieved some notoriety four months after its release when a suit was brought against Top Heavy Studios, Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc., Microsoft Corp., and Gathering Of Developers by one of the female contestants who was only 17 at the time. A Travis County judge granted a temporary restraining order prohibiting Microsoft, Sony and others from selling any game that contained the girl's image, voice, and name. Despite this, new and used copies of this game can still be found in many stores and online."

"Test Drive
Playboy The Mansion"

!!!!!

WHERE'S MY FUCKING "STRANGER'S WRATH", YOU NONSENSICAL PRATS?!

Why are the even bothering anymore? There are too many top notch 360 games out right now to worry about original XBox games. Do you think somebody is going to stop playing Mass Effect, Bioshock, Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3 to play NBA Ballers? Microsoft should be commended for their efforts, but its really not neccessary anymore. The few people that want to play those games will simply keep their old Xbox hooked up...thats what I do.

Also I'd like to commment on how awesome Armed and Dangerous is. I'm glad it was highlighted with the photo. It one of the best straight up shooters on the Xbox and its downright hilarious too. Anybody that loves frentic shooters with CRAZY weapons needs to do themselves a favor and track down that hidden gem. It won't distract you from games like Halo 3, but its worth adding to a collection to someday try it out.

Argh! Where is my SSX On Tour?!?!?!?!

Baaawwwwlllll!!!!!!!!

Hooray for Hunter the Reckoning! Still got some Xbox games that need the old black box though :(

@dpena81: One SKU doesn't have BC, majority of PS3's still have it including the still on the market 80gb model, and they do continue to fix bc in various titles with each firmware, they just dont advertise it.

@stevemkrenz: I KNOW...with every update I hope to see it. My crappy xbox 1 gets disk-read errors all the time with this game. It still amazes me they got 60 fps out of such a great looking game. Kinda makes you wonder why so many nextgen titles are stuck at 30....

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance continues to languish, unplayed, in my games shelf :(

Where the hell is The Suffering: Ties That Bind? I have yet to play the damn game, and I can't cause I don't have my Xbox anymore!?!?!?!?!?

DAMN YOOOOZE!

Hey, Fahey, why don't you take that big black box and just soft mod it? Get back into some of the retro action! UGH!

@swirldude: I'm with you! I know it's expected, and criticized, that somebody will always complain, but Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath has continually been ignored, and it is one of the best experiences to have on the console.

I miss Abe.

Actually this list bring BC way past 300, even past 400, up to 465 games. Major was way off with his count.

Until Xbox360 has good media play capabilities, my original xbox will always be around

for a moment i thought you said "Hidden & Dangerous".. That game was a buggy gem

still no TimeSplitters <.<

Prince of Persia 2 and 3, anyone!?

I own them for Xbox but haven't been able to play them because they aren't compatible yet, and the first one has some slowdown issues.

@MagWheels: yep, waiting for beyond, as well as panzer dragoon orta ans stranger's wrath.

@xAnarChisTx:

Suffering: Ties That Bind was crap compared to the first game. You'd be better off just playing the original over again than wasting time with the sequel.

@rennyf77:

Panzer Dragoon Orta is BC, isn't it?

I still want to see Enclave, and Unreal Championship 1/2 added to that list.

@whiptcracker:

It's been BC for months.

Also, this list contains zero interesting titles. Aww.

Did you actually try the game Fahey, or take them at their word? Psychonauts and Ninja Gaiden "work"..but barely.

This is a nice update. I was waiting for several titles on this list.

Yes , Panzer Dragoon is BC, I'be been playing it since the last update.

Anybody knows if they fixed the frame rate issue on Marvel vs Capcom 2 ???

Really need that fix.

I can finally play Breakdown! I guess they aren't going to put Chronicles of Riddick on there so I am forced to buy the 360 version when it comes out.

my Xbox still gets plenty of use in my room as a mini-media center, always running the latest XBMC

it's great!

@MagWheels:

Beyond Good and Evil is the ONLY game that I still have the big old black box for. For as much of a gem as the game is (on a level equal to Psychonauts if not more so), this still puzzles me. I know there are challenges to it, but the game wasn't THAT much of a hardcore engine type game. Heck, it came out on 4 systems (including the PC).

I really wish they would get that straightened out soon so I can officially move on ...

@shadow,

I just got enclave. About half way through, what a great game! I had never even heard of it. Glad I scrounge the bargain bins at GS! Its hella tough, but very rewarding.

o look! nothing good

not, even one

o wait!

....no

Still no love for Mech Assault? What's up with that?

May I suggest Jamaica. I here it's small enough to fit in that empty space. That and more.

Me, I have Hawii filling in that empty space.
