You can play alone or with up to four friends on Xbox LIVE. Two new online modes will be available including Race Mode and Jewel Duel.

Carlos writes "With the excitement of E3 last month, as well as all the new games that have made their way to the Xbox Store, you’d be forgiven for not noticing that the backwards compatibility scheme had gone exceptionally quiet in recent weeks. Of course, E3 brought us news that OG Xbox games would be arriving on the program later this year and made playable on Xbox One, but as for new additions things had started to look a little empty.
This week however has seen as many as six new arrivals to add to those already playable on Xbox One... but are they worth jumping into once more?"
Don't agree with either of you. It's one step closer to getting them all available. Surely that is the end result we are looking for right ?
Honestly SegaGamer? Nope. I've got little time or enthusiasm for the BC stuff. Understand that is a bit of a draw for many (and it keeps my kids happy seeing games they were initially too young to play become available), but me? Haven't yet used BC and doubt I ever will. My library of proper native XO titles is more than big enough to keep me busy.
Instead of bringing back games people actually want to play, they choose to work on titles that most people won't even touch smh...
Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram
Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3
Seriously....?
Games like Nier and Dante's Inferno would be nice for starters.
Are they worth a return, well, yeah, and what about those of us who owned them on the 360 but never finished them or the new gamers who have never experienced the games, so BC is so important.
Is it too much to ask for a fight night game? I`ve had enough of the crappy UFC titles and would love to see Round 4 or Champion released for BC
According to Microsoft’s Major Nelson latest tweet, the latest round of backwards compatible games are here. If you own any of the following titles (or purchase them), you will be able to download them now:
Deus Ex: Human Revolution — Director’s Cut
Final Fight: Double Impact
Faery: Legends of Avalon
Frogger 2

Backwards compatibility is starting to blow up. I bet publishers are seeing increased sales from older titles.
lame..no Black Ops 1
Deus Ex HR was always on there this is just the Directors Cut.
Anyone underwhelmed about BC titles lately have to understand that MS is probably waiting for BC blowout during their E3 press conference. Black Ops, Bioshock and other big titles have already been confirmed for BC at some point. Read Dead and other long rumored. I'll be very surprised if we don't see many of the most requested BC games announced at E3.
