Awesome, TH2x and TH3, been wanting to try 2x since it came out. Guess I will now

**norkusa** · 07-12-2007, 08:15 PM

Oh god, Outrun 2 & Coast 2 Coast?!?!? I officially don't need my old Xbox any longer.

Wow, it looks like they finally have all the good games BC now. Are they missing anything?

Not sure how good the Blinx series is but I only see the second one on the list.

Also, I didn't see The Chronicles of Riddick.

**TurboGenesis** · 07-12-2007, 08:38 PM

Good to see Microsoft continue to add games!

JSRF is another +1 for me

Yeah, the hardware problems are making me nervous about buying one tomorrow.

The sceond one is terrible compared to the first. There's a tutorial in every level that can't be shut off no matter how many times you play through. It makes the game unbearable.

The 3-year warranty should put those worries to rest.

"Also, I didn't see The Chronicles of Riddick."

From what I understand CoR:EFBB can't be BC because of it's programming.

Which is why they're remaking it for X360 and PS3.

The remake is called "The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Anthena" and it should be out around Xmas. This game has the following:

--A remake of the PC Director's Cut of "Butcher Bay" with improved graphics.
--A new chapter that takes place after "Butcher Bay" called "Assault on Dark Anthena" (hence the title)
--And something that was missing with both the PC and Xbox versions of "Butcher Bay": multiplayer.

Can't wait for this one. It gives me an excuse to revisit the guide I made for "Butcher Bay" over at GameFAQs.....

i cant believe they mADE MArvel vs capcom 2 bc . im about to fire it up and unlock all the characters again .

**Leo_A** · 07-12-2007, 11:08 PM

Anyway to transfer Xbox 1 saves to a Xbox 360?

Nice list, but they're still missing tons of good stuff so I hope they continue. RalliSport Challenge 2, the Brothers in Arms series, Beyond Good & Evil, Capcom Classics Collection 1 & 2, Colin McRae 3 and 2005 (Bet these appear someday unless they stop, 04 was already done), Mega Man Anniversary Collection has issues, Midnight Club 2 and 3, Midtown Madness, Midway Arcade Treasures, Need for Speed Underground, Prince of Persia series, Taito Legends, Tron 2.0, and many more.

I mostly just hope to see RalliSport Challenge 2. Have a few friends that I'd like to race again with this that don't keep their original Xbox's hooked up (I do so I don't really need these updates but I'm still glad they're doing it).

**Nesmaster** · 07-12-2007, 11:10 PM

BG&E would be swell. I'm hoping The Warriors is added sometime, I never did check that out.

**ubersaurus** · 07-12-2007, 11:19 PM

Nice list, but I'm still holding out hope for Xyanide to get on there!

**Chuplayer** · 07-12-2007, 11:35 PM

Outrun 2 has moments of frame drop, but I'm surprised it runs as well as it does. It's still entirely playable, and for a game so graphically intense, having only minor framerate problems is awesome.

I don't have 2006 for the XBOX. Love the PS2 port, though. Picked up the PSP port last month on the cheap, and I don't even have a PSP.

I haven't run into problems in THPS2X.

JSRF's only update is the ability to play it from the Sega GT combo disc. 99th Street is still slow as molasses.

The Outlaw Golf 9 More Holes... is the actually second Christmas special disc. The first one doesn't work. I tried it. I didn't even know there was a second special Christmas disc until a couple hours ago.

**NEOFREAK9189** · 07-13-2007, 12:35 AM

but they still missing my game the enter the matrix and the matrix path of neo

**MegaDrive20XX** · 07-13-2007, 02:46 AM

Omg...well I need to go shopping

**DigitalSpace** · 07-13-2007, 03:11 AM

I must say, this is a pretty nice update. Hopefully TJ&E 3 will be added soon.

**G-Boobie** · 07-13-2007, 03:41 AM

Does Morrowind run any better on the 360? I somehow doubt it, but it would be nice to play Morrowind at a framerate higher than 40 fps.

I do not think they are remaking the game as thoroughly as they are because it is not backwarrds compatible, but rather to sell more copies and to bolster the possibility of a sequel.

With emulation they should eventually be able to make all games backwards compatible as long as the 360 is powerful enough.

Yep, this is exactly what I was thinking when I saw that. Time to move the ol' box to the closet and use that space for another console
