I have been able to save games to the hard drive with the exception of Kill Switch. Half Life and the Halo games will save but with Kill Switch the game indicates that it did not save, even when I go through the correct procedure to do so. Not sure what is up with that.....

I just added this to the list. How does HL2 run on the 360? Is there any framerate issues?

To me the frame rate for HL 2 is worse on the 360 than it was on the regular xbox. Not unplayalbe but certainly more noticable. I would guess the 360 emulator for the game needs some work.

Catwoman? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Is this a sign of them not being able to add more games?

I have. They work for the little time that I spent with them.

Does anyone know if a game for the regular xbox has a patch or roster update on XBOX LIVE, will it work with the 360 if you have the hdd?

If you enjoy Xbox games still, do not sell your Xbox. Just because a game is "on the list" doesn't mean it works well at all. Most of the games I've tried outside of Halo, Halo 2, and Crimson Skies have problems.

Freedom Fighters was also taken off the list because of a emulation glitch that didn't allow for the very first enemy to die (20 seconds into the game), so basically all you could do in the game is run up and down the hallway.

As for the GTA games, the Double Pack ones run fine except for having slowdown when driving and the now lack of custom music.

GTA double pack works, but yes there is slowdown sometimes when driving in GTAIII. In Vice City the driving doesn't have that slowdown.

Custom Music is down and the radio music seems to be way too low for some reason.

I'm glad all 3 GTA's work without any problems also. Just waiting for Bust-A-Move to be added to that list soon and a few of the newer titles from this fall that I want to play.
