New Xbox 360 BackCompat Update

docdude316 writes "Gamespot is reporting that the Xbox 360 got another backward compatibility update Monday. The article says 'Microsoft has updated its Xbox 360 backward-compatibility list, this time adding 39 new games and updating support for nine more. That brings the total number of Xbox games playable on the Xbox 360 up past the 250 mark.' More backward compatibility is a good thing, but where's Psychonauts and Conker?" No Pyschonauts yet == BOOOO! And where is Jet Set Radio Future?

  1. Re:screw this, I want soul caliber II by GundamFan · · Score: 2, Informative

    By unique do you mean exclusive or inovative and of high quality?

    Soul Caliber II has ports on all three major last gen platforms. Plus part of the issue might be that there is a Soul Caliber game under development on the 360 on top of the fact that Soul Caliber III is out making Soul Caliber II "obsolete" in the eyes of the porting team.

    Uhh, that's really not a very big problem.

    His girlfriend bought the games, not him, meaning his girlfriend needs to be signed in in order to play them. Note that he can still be signed in on his own account and playing it, just she needs to be signed in as well as, say, second player.

    It's more of a hassle than it should be, granted, but it's quite overblown.
