The Best of Xbox Back Compat

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the mildly-retro-gaming dept.

Eurogamer takes a look at the best of Xbox backwards compatibility; the original Xbox games that run the best on the 360. From the article: "Enough ranting to embattled Zenmeister Peter Moore about the Xbox games that don't work on our 360s. What about the ones that do? It's not as though Microsoft's 'emulation ninjas' haven't already managed to get a whole bundle of them working, and with that in mind we've cheered up a bit since yesterday and started working through the 'compatible' list and had some fun sorting the wheat from the chaff."

    ...to buy Nintendo, or maybe Sony.

      Why would I buy an Xbox 360 or an original Xbox? The company is famous for terrible design and taste that borders on criminal. Its aesthetic sensibilities most closely resemble those of a puddle of vomit seeping into a gutter somewhere in Long Island City. As regards its console, both generations have reflected the company's thoroughly wretched philosophy of design. So I ask again: why would I spend my money on a spraypainted, shellacked turd, when I could just as easily save it to reward a creative team with a less brickheaded sense of beauty?
