**EDIT
Looked it up at XBox.com. It is BC so I ordered it :)

Big ups to MS and not to be ungrateful but I'm seeing Guilty Gear Isuka on there (I assume that's for Japanese Xboxes only) but no #Reload. I want #Reload BADLY, those high rez sprites in 720p would look sweet.

Hell yeah street fighter collection! Now we have a solid 2d fighter that isnt glitchy online!...

nice, I can finally play through JSRF again, I'll pick up Panzer Dragoon orta again and star wars republic commando(never got to play it, my xbox 1 died before it came out).

Isn't Call of Duty 3 an Xbox 360 only title? Not sure why it is listed in the BC list.

FYI, Jet Set Radio Future in the JSRF/Sega GT combo disc WILL NOT WORK. Only the stand-alone JSRF disc works.

I'm stoked that I'll finally be able to play online Third Strike in 720p glory.

GREAT for:
Full Spectrum Warrior
Mercenaries

And I always wanted to play Star Wars: Republic Commando so I guess I can pick it up now (since my xbox is still loaned out).

But Where is Chronicals of Riddick!!!!! With the news of the new Riddick game and the rumor of some "good news" coming when The Darkness is released I had such high hopes that it would be BC soon.

Im still waiting for ESPN 2K5 Football

:0)

I was really hoping for the Full Spectrum Warrior sequal. Yay for Jet Set Radio (except for the fact I think I tossed or lost my original disc when I got the combo disc.)

Mechasault 2 only plays in 4:3

Damn it I wondered about this as I have it in storage somewhere...That sucks.

You like to start wars dont you. :D

Finally... Third Strike.

Finally... Third Strike.


I would have preferred Alpha...I hear KOF sucks and damn Japan for getting Guilty Gear and not us...

Still a great list, cant say aside from 2d fighting I will get much use out of it...That copy of NFL Fever 2004 at Blockbuster for $.99 seems tempting now.

I played Mercenaries for about half hour before it froze my machine up solid. Not a good sign.

no #Reload? :(

ARGH, still no Metal Wolf Chaos.

Well at least Panzer Dragoon is finally there
at this rate after a few more updates my list of desired titles will be complete

Doom 3: RoE
Land of the Dead
Godzilla DAMM and STE

JSRF AND PDO.......yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

full spectrum warrior was an AWWESOME game!!

I played Mercenaries for about half hour before it froze my machine up solid. Not a good sign.


Any luck playing it again? And was it 16:9?

I picked up JSRF PDO and Star wars republic commando. Hey anyone have the map for the roof hopping challenge in JSRF. It's for Shubuya terminal(yeah I know gamefaqs has it but that's blocked at work).

BTW gamestop sells JSRF for 3.99 and PDO for 7.99 both are steals though finding JSRF on it's original disc is difficult usually teh combo disk is sold(which isn't BC).

How does Panzer Dragoon look on the 360? Does the upscaled 720p/1080i look that much better?

I didn't pop it in. I'll do it sometime tonight. I've owned the game before so I should be able to tell if there was a difference. JSRF looked terrific even by todays standards. I play on a 32" 1080i televesion so it could look terrible on a laregr screen but for mine it's just peachy.

How does Panzer Dragoon look on the 360? Does the upscaled 720p/1080i look that much better?I never played the game on the original Xbox, but it did look great running at 720p on my LCD set. The game is four years old and the graphics still hold up nicely.

Guys - the loyal Phantom Dust following will be totally jazzed about this! That was an excellent game and this will likely revive it for a while. You can pick it up now for like $5 so try it out! (However, it's not for everyone, so read a bit about it first. There is no "liking" that game, you either LOVE it or it's just nothing special...)

Star Wars: Republic Commando is a game a kinda wish I got.

Nice I'll order it online.

Not only that it ran at a solid 60fps. I wonder if it holds up. Again I'll try it out later tonight.

Hopefully in the next update

I tried Mercenaries again and made it past the first freeze point. However, it then froze again a little farther on. Save is your friend. This is going to get real irritating if it contunes to happen.

It was 16:9 and looked really nice. That I was happy with.

NOOOOO! I -JUST- sold Panzer Dragoon Orta on ebay, and shipped it out today because I lost hope in it ever being backwards compatible.

I loved that game... arg!

Yippie Skippy!!

Oddworld is one of the best games ever!

Where is THE WARRIORS????
