WOW! If that doesn't cover every single big tim Xbox game that is worth playing then I don't know what they missed (though I'm sure you people will let me know).
Now obviously the BIG inclusion here is Sneakers. This is a game that was exclusively available only at Toys R Us and now ANYONE can download it. This would be just breaking if it is true.
Ok, but really, all three GTA's, Jade Empire, KOTOR, Ninja Gaiden, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Deathrow, and Conker? For someone who didn't own the Xbox I'm pretty excited to play some of these (if they aren't already supported BC on the 360).
Her blog says that there will be 100 titles by the end of 2008 on "Xbox Originals"

I've pondered buying San Andreas again since I haven't played it in awhile, but... I don't know if I wanna go through the 15+ hours of gameplay just to open up the whole state again.
JSRF, though... eh... Anyone know where I could find it used?
It's gotta be like $5 now.

I'm pretty sure every gamestop should have this for 2$ or so. It's also very cheap on goozex.

So are many others that already got mentioned, but I thought those two deserved some love.
And Guagloves is right. BG&E plz.

I worry that the Xbox Originals bullshit will distract Microsoft from updating the back-compat list. We'll see if that fear is unfounded soon.

I would check out Jade Empire though, because I missed that the first time through. Maybe Panzer Dragoon and Voodoo Vince as well.

The only thing remotely interesting that hasn't been mentioned is will Deathrow support Xbox LIVE multiplayer. If it does now THAT would be something of a newsflash from our residential Nostradamus Surfergirl.

The fact that the service exists is great. Especially for some titles that could be potentially hard to find at local stores. And lets be honest, the majority of us Dtoiders would not be considered casual gamers. I love the fact that there are casual gamers out there who may be discovering games like Psychonauts, Indigo Prophecy and JSRF.
