With the latest update to the backwards compatibility list finally here, there are now over 300 orginal Xbox games that'll play nice with your Xbox 360. But unlike the last update, there is a considerably smaller portion of good games.
Honestly, the only game that stood out to me was Freedom Fighters and it's not even exclusive to the Xbox platform. How many more bad games are going to become backwards compatible before we start seeing some decent ones as well? Is that so much to ask for?
On the other hand, I only own a few of the newly compatible games, so the rest of you with large collections might find the update to be good news. In either case, hit the jump to see the list.

Thanks! You've cured about a year's worth of insomnia.
ARMED AND DANGEROUS
If anyone hasnt played this game GO GET IT NOW. Its quite possibly one of the funniest games ever made.
What kind of terrible joke is this list? I don't own many old xbox games anyway so its ok, but this is just sucky. Fail
I CAN FINALLY HAS PLAI DEMON STONE NAU!!!!
*grin*
I don't understand their selection process
it's really aggravating
Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks (C'mon guys! At least make it BC since you robbed us of Xbox Live co-op, ya jerks.)
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (Though it's obvious they won't BC this one because of the revamp heading our way, which would only undermine potential sales.)
Corrected: What's the point of bc'ing a sports game?
The gameplay and controls were sucky, but the story kicked butt.
At this point, all the titles I give a shit about play on the 360, albeit badly.
and that's it
And now that I'm reading the other comments, I just said what a half dozen others have already said.
Ummm, I want Gladius.
That is all.
My favorite was the one where someone is holding Jaws and it said "Does it work?!" I almost died. I say that to my friend each time I see that game in Gamestop.
So... yeah. Don't slam 'em too hard for it.
Sports titles from 5 years ago are not worth the time...useless backward compatibility...
Who the hell is playing Blade 2. That game was horrible. The only game that I've played on the list, that I liked was Indiana Jones. That game was pretty solid. I'm gonna scope out Armed and Dangerous now thats its available. But really, where the hell are the Metal Slug games! Bring those babies out!
Still no Steel Batallion and people payed $200 for that thing? i'd be damn near suing Microsoft for not having that on one of the very first updates....
oh this list sucks. need better please.
