Xbox 360 Will Play Over 200 Xbox Games

Finally! Microsoft has released a list of which Xbox games will be backwards compatible on the Xbox 360. As of now 212 Xbox titles will be playable at the launch of the 360, and Microsoft says more games will be added to the roster at later dates. It was also announced that any backwards compatible games that feature Xbox Live will be playable across both platforms. This means if you?re playing an online game on Xbox, someone playing that same game on the 360 can still play against/with you.

To play an Xbox game on a 360 though, you will have to put that current generation game in a 360 while its hooked into Xbox Live. Your system will then download the latest software for emulation purposes. As reported earlier on Mygamer, the hard drive will also be needed, in order to store the downloaded software. For gamers who will not log onto Xbox Live, Microsoft has a couple of other options. Gamers can order a CD with the software already on it from Xbox.com, which will be mailed to them for a ?nominal? fee. On a side note, the same CD will be offered completely free to Japanese 360 consumers. A third option for US 360 owners will be to go to Xbox.com, download the emulation software, burn it to a CD, and then insert the CD into the 360. The 360 system will then install the software.

As for which current games will be compatible on the Xbox 360, expected games like [i]Ninja Gaiden[/i], [i]Ninja Gaiden Black[/i], [i]Halo[/i], [i]Halo 2[/i], and all three current gen [i]Grand Theft Autos[/i] will be playable. While certainly many Xbox fans won’t be missing out on games like Fight Club, there are however a few notable releases that will not initially be compatible, from the critically acclaimed Burnout series, to Splinter Cell, Psychonauts, and the recent Dead or Alive titles. Microsoft has stated that it of course intends to increase the number of compatible games. The complete listing of current Xbox games that will be compatible on the next gen Xbox 360 on November 22nd is as follows:
