I'm serious. Almost all my games play and they look better. Plus certain games have xbox live added to them. Deathrow was never online and now I can play it online. It made mtx mototrax look much better then on the xbox. The biggest one missing for me is Serious Sam 2 , hot wheels stunt trackand Heroes of the pacific. But it will be fun playing old classics that look better. Especially Raze's hell. It will help as I build my 360 collection. Any hidden jems out there that anyone has noticed.
Battlefront
Battlefront 2
Crimson Skies (live)
Deathrow (now with live)
Doom 3
Farcry
Mtx mototraxx
Raze's hell
I've forgotten many, but I stayed up late playing around with old games and trying demos.

Deathrow is a dumb *** game...that I absolutely loved for some reason!

The only old XBOX game that clicked with me was Crimson Skies, so BC isn't that big of a deal to me, of course I still have my older XBOX. It'd be nice if they added Justice League Heroes to the list of compatible titles, but it would be a ton better if they released a native 360 version.

yeah. So is nfl 2004 (the only nfl game that had system link)
Deathrow is a fun cheesy game.
I noticed a lot of improvements on almost every game I tried.
But adding xbl to some games really surprised me. Why hasn't it been mentioned before?

Forza still has problems. The sounds stutter sometimes and the framerates drop on some courses when looking backwards.

Wait... so system link games can be played over Live now? How did I miss that? I'm not seeing any way to connect to XBL in Deathrow...

I remember sitting around playing Deathrow at my friends house for hours. Horrible game really, but somehow too much fun.

I'm not really even seeing how that would be possible. They can't really add content to the older games, can they?

I don't think you can do it, but I don't see why it would be impossible. If you can play something over system link, you could simply have live "emulate" that.

Right? But Mindwarper says its true... I need more details.
They can add content I would imagine the same way that they apply patches to the older games.

theres only about 3 games i enjoyed on my original xbox, so i dont use the backward compatibility feature on my 360 at all
I've only played Ninja Gaiden of the xbox gen on the 360. It looks frickin rad.

Go to network play. Inside there are now two options, one is xbl. I didn't believe it at first. They improved the game. Not just visually, but added content. I'll check it again tonight, maybe I was smokin a ton. But I am sure I saw an xbl option. So far the 360 games look amazing, but so far I am very impressed with BC. I played darkwatch and it looks better then ever. The old games are fun and help me slowly build my 360 collection. I hate paying full price for games.

My son cried when he found out Hot Wheels STC didn't work. Poor kid, guess it's back to Lego SW 2. ;)

You are correct. It was another game that was old and I didn't remember having xbl. They didn't add content. But they did make old games look better. Even oldie circus maximus. I was hitting the bong too much as I tried all my old games. Sorry for the confusion.
I want:
serious sam 2
hot wheels stunt track
arz fatalis

Problem is that just about all Xbox games are really bad or I'd STILL play the PC version. In conclusion my X360 is still collecting dust.

I haven't played a pc game since I got the 360. I like variety. The 360 is making the older games better. I'm having a blast.
