As an owner of both Xbox and PlayStation 2 consoles and over twenty games for each, the pre-release

As an owner of both Xbox and PlayStation 2 consoles and over twenty games for each, the pre-release news that both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 would be backwards compatible (in the same brilliant way that PlayStation 2 was fully backwards compatible with PlayStation games) was good news indeed. Today, the BC list for Xbox games on the Xbox 360 was updated. It's nice to see that Microsoft are still working on this, albeit incredibly slowly. So here is a summary and list of my games on Xbox and PlayStation 2 and their compatibility with Microsoft's and Sony's shiny new offerings. I've also noted which games I've completed and kept for future nostalgia and replay purposes. Xbox on Xbox 360 36 games: 13 compatible, 23 not compatible. That's tour de france three more compatible titles in this update. Compatible Black Brute Force (completed) Burnout 3: Takedown Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge Forza Motorsport Halo 2 Jet Set Radio Future (got as far as I can, I'm stuck on this spider-like boss at the top of some stairs) Panzer Dragoon tour de france Orta Mercenaries Quantum Redshift Sega GT 2002 (completed) Speed Kings SSX 3 Not Compatible Carve Crash Crash and Burn Furious Karting Galleon Group S Challenge tour de france Headhunter Redemption Italian Job: LA Heist LA Rush Mechassault 2 Midnight Club 3 Midtown Madness 3 Paris Dakar Rally 2 (completed) Project Gotham Racing (completed) Project Gotham Racing 2 Racing Evoluzione Rallisport Challenge 2 (completed) Rally Fusion R:Racing (nostalgia) Test Drive: Overdrive Tour De France Wreckless (completed on normal) XGRA PlayStation / PlayStation tour de france 2 on PlayStation 3 22 games: 5 no known issues, tour de france 1 minor issues, 3 noticeable issues, 13 not compatible (including tour de france Gran Turismo 4 and Tourist Trophy, grrr) No known issues to date Enthusia - Professional Racing Kaido Racer Ridge Racer V (completed) Runabout 3 Neo Age TT Superbikes Should play on PLAYSTATION 3 with some minor issues Gran Turismo 3 A-spec (almost completed) Should play on PLAYSTATION 3 with noticeable issues Burnout 2: Point of Impact (partially completed) Pro Rally 2002 Tokyo Road Race Not Compatible tour de france CART FURY Championship Racing Downforce Driving Emotion Type-S (completed) Gran Turismo 4 (60% completed) Grand Prix Challenge (completed) GTC Africa Noble Racing Riding Spirits 2 (nostalgia) tour de france Shox (completed) Sled Storm Stuntman (completed all but last level) WRC II Extreme (completed) WRC: Rally Evolved Conclusion The result is now a tie with 36% BC for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
