It's official, I no longer have any reason to own an original Xbox and Microsoft has now made me the happiest man alive. About the only glaring omission I see on the list right now is Oddworld's Stranger, but I suppose that can be forgiven.

I think all I need to reach back comp nirvana now is Justice League Heroes and Beyond Good & Evil.

KUF would be nice, but they're making a proper 360 version, plus the Diablo clone spinoff.

Really? I only knew about the lameass Diablo version. I don't want no bleeding dungeons and shit, I want coop, tactical, hordes-of-guys beatem up action!

As an aside, I hear that Xbox compatibility is at like 30%... but the list on Xbox.com is only a few hundred games. Is the Xbox library really that small?

Compared to the PS2? Yes.

You forgot to heugify

JET SET RADIO FUTURE

and

PHANTOM DUST

The Otogi games need adding as well, but BG&E was multi-platform, so just buy it for another system, guys.

Filth! The Xbox version had Dolby Digital 5.1 support, the others didn't.

Speaking of older games, I recently discovered you can buy Castlevania: symphony of the night from Xbox-live. Man, does that game rocks
