Glad I still have my XBOX. BC is not an issue for me.

Re: New Back Compat Update includes....

Honestly, why spend the time to make "Big Mother Truckers" BC?

It's like they aren't even trying when it comes to BC.

I don't think they spend time on "Big Motha Truckers", i think that game is coded similarly to some other game they cared about, and therefore become BC with minimal/no work required...it's like the Barbie game, no one besides ExtremeGamer plays that, but it's still BC

I agree. Seems more like a slap to the face than anything else. That list is absolutely putrid

I love how they threw Zapper on as a bonus. Awesome..

I think they try to emulate the AAA titles first, but notice that they can run a lot of terrible games smoothly along their quest to get a title like Fable (random example) up and running.

I see what you are saying and that logic worked with the original and first BC update, but by now it is just pathetic. If they aren't gonna do it right, save the money to acquire some kickass MS Live Arcade games and to program some other content, BC has been a waste for all involved.

As for a game like Doom 3, anyone surprised that wasn't updated and ported to the 360 given the ******ation of the graphics on the Xbox?

Good point about similarly coded games.....and of course EG's fetish for Barbie!

Re: New Back Compat Update includes....

Luckily I really don't care about any Xbox games, I have my Xbox to play MVP and that's it...because they don't seem to want to add the games that people want.

I sit here with a freaking Microsoft Studios game, Links 2004, with maybe a trade-in value of .50. Sighhhh.

Re: New Back Compat Update includes....

If you find yourself using a 360 to play Intellivision games, it might be time to seriously reevaluate your life.

Some of the arcade games are about the same quality and people seem to love 'em.

Re: New Back Compat Update includes....

I've played 18 of those on something (not all on Xbox) but Dreamfall is the only one I own.

You and me both. I keep hoping, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

I'm glad I could care less about back compat because that list is laughable

And I have to give a bad boy slap to Major Nelson for having Peter Moore on there talking about how they are working hard on the update and only having a bullcrap piece slopped onto the 360. Was the update already issued because I updated today not thinking about that. At least i have freaking Battelfront that I wanted to get started on. Got it for like $5. And I think I have Spiderman on there too. How is Dreamfall and Fatal Frame? Man, Microsoft is starting to get on my nerves. I still have Links too and I can't even get no love.

This was a bull$#!t update on the real. I definitely have to hear what Major Nelson has to say. I just degraded my respect for that herb and that company. Man, PISS ME OFF!! JFEKOWNM:LVNCOJS FGEONWLJ B..................freaking billion dollar companys
