    the 360 backward compatablitity rocks

    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.

    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.

    They can add content I would imagine the same way that they apply patches to the older games.

    I've only played Ninja Gaiden of the xbox gen on the 360. It looks frickin rad.
