Microsoft is continuing with its strategy to use 'legacy', 'classic' or 'old' games for its Xbox Live community. Yes, there are going to be 80 more Xbox Original titles for the Xbox 360 coming your way.
The plan is a good one as Nintendo has proved with Virtual Console. Maybe Sony could have learnt from this, rather than turning its back on a huge history of gaming by removing backward compatibility from the new 40Gb PS3s...
On the other hand, if Sony was to tweak some 'Classic Games' (bit of hi-def here, few additional levels there; but still retaining the feel) so that they would play as downloads on PlayStation 3, then it could have a huge back-catalogue to make use of.
Anyway, back to Microsoft...
The additional 80 Originals means that you can now play over 300 original Xbox titles on your Xbox 360, with online games playable over LIVE between the original Xbox and the 360. Nifty!
Head over to xbox.com for the full details, Xbox 1 titles now playable include two of our particular favourites Burnout 2: Point of Impact and Fight Night Round 3 (pictured here).

Glad to see Microsoft continuing support for BC on old Xbox 1 games rather then turning their backs on us.
Microsoft continue to amaze me what they can do with software.

Oh God, as soon as I read this article I knew what was coming out of SuperSaiyan's blinkered "brain". Oh well. At least this time it was a thinly veiled attack rather than blatant smug mockery. Thank heavens for small mercies.
I gotta take issue with a couple of points though:
Two words, Satan: WINDOWS VISTA. The biggest piece of crap to ever be shat from a software company. Your Lords can do wrong, Satan.
Any gamer worth his salt knows that TS3 was by far the worst in the series. They toned it down so it was easier for simpletons, whereas the previous two were for hardcore gamers. This speaks volumes to me; VOLUMES. I can rest easy now knowing that these small facts show that SuperSaiyan speaks permanently from the rectum. It is a victory for common sense and decent gamers. TimeSplitters 3 was the gaming equivalent of canned laughter. How hilaryairyarse.
I can rest easy now comfortable in the fact that gaming's Satan has proven that he had utterly no clue what he is talking about.
