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
Puzzlegeddon
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.

Not only is this a promising emulator, but it's also a permanent solution for the 3RRoD.
Scumbag developer... Showcases how well the emulator works...with frogger...
*after watching the video... It doesn't even run frogger properly... I bet it will crash when you startup Angry Birds..
They always start with simple games. The fact that a simple Xbox 360 game is being emulated means they achieved something. All emulators started like this.
Thats pretty cool. Except for GTA V and some racers, I cant think of too many games I would play that didnt port over to PC already.
Gears of war and Halo are on PC tho (of course u mean GoW2,3 and Halo 3,4, and Odst) : P
I'm so sad Tales of Symphonia didn't release a bundle for 360 or pc. My ps3 died last year or I would be playing it this very minute.
Well , we are on the topic of emulation so you can actually play Tales of Symphonia on your pc , just get the GC/Wii game and download Dolphin.
" Well, here is some good news for X360 fans "
You mean for people that can't afford a Xbox 360?
You're getting down votes because you made a idiotic comment, hope that's helpful.
When companies drop support for old systems, emulation is the way to go. You might be looking forward to buying all your PS2 games again on Gaikai like an obedient little consumer, I'm just running them on PCSX2.
You're an idiot. So if a company drop support for a system... the best thing to do is pirate games. Seems logical to me. /S
If a company drop support for that system that means that the system is no longer revelant therefore they need to move forward. This is how progression works.
This is how things work. Consumers buy things this is what keeps the world going. If everyone stop buying things you would not have those precious games to emulate.
Great position Kayoss - if a company drops support for a system, we should forget the past. Now that Ground Zeroes is out, you should not play any of the older Metal Gears.
If you want to play those older games (which you shouldn't, because that's not how progression works) then you must plug all your old consoles with their obsolete outputs and scratched disks into your new TV.
That's your position. Most people would say that you are the idiot. They'd probably say it to your face, so do try to keep quiet.
I downvoted because what you said didn't make sense , if someone can't afford a 360 ($100-$200 !) then how the hell can they afford a monster PC to run this emulator??.
Its a tad slow. Does anyone know the hardware requirements for proper 360 emulation?
Edit: waiting for smart ass "an Xbox 360 duh" response lol.
Emulation of 360 will not work with something equivalent to 360 at full speed especially at the start of a working stable version and probably not at anytime in its future.

I was throughly disappointed with the direction Frogger 2 took after having fond memories of the original. If your in the mood to play a game with your little green buddy Frogger, save 400 Microsoft points and download the original version. And here is the question of the ages......Why would they make a game with a frog that doesn't know how to swim?"
