Thanks Will, how's your 360 gameplaying going? To keep this sticky message clean, when updates occur for more games, do you want me to just add to the original list?

Re: XBOX 360 Backwards Compatibility List - Patch 1

I have heard some games don't play well even on the list? If we find one can we add a note beside that game?

I have been adding notes next to the ones that are reported as not working.

Re: XBOX 360 Backwards Compatibility List - Patch 1

I wonder about new games, like if NBA Live 06 for regular Xbox works.

Nope I tried that and March Madness and neither worked. I'm still waiting for MVP and Far Cry and WPT to get on the list. Once they do, I'll sell my regular XBOX.

Crimson Skies: It works fine until you back out of carreer mode, then it always says your controller is unplugged. You can still play the game.

Re: XBOX 360 Backwards Compatibility List - Patch 1

I wonder how Forza plays/looks on the 360...because there probably isn't a xbox 360 racing game that rivals it...

Should just add to the list but make whatever is new bold.

You can't use custom soundtracks for any XBOX1 games?

it looks about the same, which is good but not great. The graphics dont compare to PGR3, but the game is still better overall imo. It plays very well on the new system.

So can you save Xbox game saves to the HD? If you cant then BC is worthless for sports games.

Yes, you can save the games to the HD, just the blades don't recognize the games.
