Seemingly out of nowhere, a backwards compatibility update has been unleashed for the Xbox 360. While there are over 80 new games on the list, the ones that catch our eyes are the numerous sports titles and a few of the Xbox's better dungeon crawlers. These include Dungeon & Dragons Heroes, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Hunter: The Reckoning, and The Bard's Tale. Honestly, we could recommend any of those titles for hours of excellent hack and slash action. You can even find quite a few laughs in The Bard's Tale, which stars Cary Elwes and is narrated by the late, great Tony Jay. Another title that has finally made the list is Breakdown, Namco's bold first person experiment. Check out the full list of new titles after the break.

When I popped in MVP Baseball 2005, it said "There's an update available for this game, blah blah blah" So I updated it, and then it told me that it wasn't backward compatible. I even tried rebooting the 360 and still the same thing happened. If anyone has MVP 2005, please let me know what happened for you when you put it in.

What, no Advent Rising????
Damn, that was one of my favorite games and I've missed not being able to play it on the 360. After playing through Mass Effect, I really want to go through Advent Rising again.

Ok.. The Guy Game and 27 sports games get on the list, but no Second Sight or Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath? For fuck's sake MS, stop scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Hallelujah! NFL2K5!
And Shattered Union! I bought that a few months ago cheap to play on my original XBox, but I have a crappy disc drive and it doesn't like it.
Great news!
