For those of you unaware, there's been another X360 BC update. This time it adds another 80 or so games. I'm glad they are still working on them, hopefully the news of a download service for Xbox1 games won't stop these from being released. Another feature added this time around is cross-platform play between the Xbox and the X360 for multiplayer Xbox1 titles.
Of personal note this time around are:
Shattered Union, Blood Omen 2, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, D&D Heroes and Apex.
Apex is a much overlooked racing game where you build and race your own cars for a company you create. Excellent graphics and good gameplay, it didn't get a lot of exposure and has become harder to find in the wild. It was also notable because when it was released it had an unprecedented 11,000 polygons per car model.
With those games I noted above I'm just about ready to retire my Xbox to storage. All I need now are Rallisport Challenge 2, Mechassault 1, Transworld Snowboarding and Star Wars Obi-Wan. Still, considering the vast difference between architecture and difficulties in emulation of any kind, having 50% of my Xbox1 games on that list isn't too shabby.
