Update: As many have pointed out, the list has been official updated with lots of new games including Soul Calibur II, Spider-Man 2, Mechassault 2, Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, and much more. Follow this link for the fully updated list.Xbox backwards compatibility updates are few and far between these days. Hell, the last update was in December. In fact, many feared that the coming of Physchonauts meant the end of new updates. Rejoice, true believers, for a new back compat update is upon us! Unfortunately, we don't know how many games have been added. In fact, right now the only way to get the update is to download the update, burn it to a disc, and install in manually (we assume it will be available on Live soon). However, we do have confirmation of at least two new titles, including SEGA's Panzer Dragoon Orta and Phantom Dust. If you've got the itch for these games, get to downloading. In the meantime, keep your eye on the official backwards compatibility page for the updated list. You can be sure we'll post it when it goes live.

This update kicks so much ass...Panzer, Phantom Dust, MechAssault 2, Mercenaries, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, JSRF, SW: Republic Commando...wow this is awesome. They are very close to whittling away my reasons for still owning an original Xbox.

Looks like the list has been updated! Can't believe Breakdown got in before Riddick.

I am still waiting for Gladius!
Of course, I'm probably the only person that owns it, but it was still a great game to me.
P.S. -- RM, what's a 'Physconaut'? Is that someone who dabbles in the art of brute strength? :P

This adds in a few games I had sitting around, so that's nice. I wouldn't mind playing JSRF again. It's what I bought my original Xbox for.

Finally Republic Commando. But the UK site hasn't been updated. Does this mean the UK will get it in a few days, or are we left out again.

Woot! JSRF, PDO, and Breakdown?! THANK YOU MS! I didn't think we'd ever see these games supported, especially not Breakdown. I cannot describe my happiness. :)

Very glad to have Oorta, JSRF, and Wolfenstein.
Also, having King of Fighters Neowave is very good. I've got a complete set of Neo Geo MVS King of Fighters games, so that brings me right up to date :D

Wouldn't it be faster to create the Xbox as an emulation on the 360 than to individually emulate each game? Just a thought.
