Starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel now really. Full Spectrum Warrior is awesome, and I quite enjoyed Wolfenstein. Mercenaries was really uninspiring at the time, but in hindsight it was a bit like a jungle-based Crackdown.

Anything else on that list worth playing? Is Spiderman 2 the "good" Spiderman game, where you get to free roam across a pretty large city?

hey does anyone know if destroy all humans is back compatible???

[Zerodisorder]

Spiderman 2 is the open world one. At the time I loved Jet Set Radio Future. I got a kick outta Phantom Dust seeing as it came out new for 20 USD and was enjoyable and the Unreal Championship 2 was quite good when it came out, still has decent graphics from what I remember.

hey i thought halo 2 had decent graphics till i played it again

[Ivan Joidherpus]

hey i thought halo 1 had decent graphics till i played it again

max, you do realize that it was released in 11/2001.
That was almost 6 YEARS AGO.
It did have great graphics for the time. Compared to today it doesn't hold up (graphic wise at least....) but it was stunning when originally released.

> Jet Set Radio Future

A fun game; hard to categorize, but probably closest is a platformer. Essentially a remake of the game that appeared long ago on the dreamcast, but fun if you like racing around picking up the equivalent of "coins". Don't think it's anything like the Tony Hawk games - there are points to be gained for tricks, but nothing to that depth. I enjoyed it and appreciated it's Jap-Hop sensibility.

> Oddworld Munch's Oddysee

Another creative platformer. Pretty cool if you've never done any of the Oddworld stuff. I played it when the XBox first came out, and enjoyed it.

> Panzer Dragoon Orta

Everyone raved about this game; I played it for 2 hours and then dumped it; I found it super-monotonous, but if you're a fan of rail-shooters, it's supposed to be the shit.

> Soul Calibur 2 UPDATED

Only the greatest fighting game ever created. People have practically written PhD theses on this game describing the strategies involved. Probably one of the best games out there for direct head-to-head competion. As a single player game, it's okay, but it's just a fighter. The AI is not particularly challenging, as I was able to 100% complete it, and it's the only fighter I've ever played.

Panzer Dragoon Orta is a really really good game. No idea how it looks anno 2007 though.

[max2663]

i didnt edit a thing

[CleanSweep31]

Star Wars: Republic Commando

Worth renting at least to play through it ... had an interesting approach to the unit structure.

[max2663]

could someone please tell me if destroy all humans 2 is back comp???

[Studley]

It's not on this list (http://uk.gamespot.com/games.html?type=bc&platform=1029&mode=all&sort=views&letter=D&dlx_type=all&sortdir=asc), which is the UK list that I always check for this sort of thing.

[max2663]

[UKJAY]

I like Tigerwoods golf and Sonic Riders...

[Fanappy]

please only let him use that account....

I was really looking 4ward to play fifa street 2, and the 2 brothers in arms games but still not on the list dammit and they have some really crap games on there or ones u can get on the 360 which i dont get

[the list]

Soul Calibur II is only listed for US backwards compatibility but I decided to try anyway and it worked - until my 360 died 30 seconds into the first fight.

It put up a good fight for a launch machine but now its going home in a box.

[screamidge]

damn i wanted path of neo to be compatible

Mine come back to life again...you gotta have Faith! - Pray or something...

[charmed699]

I heart Panzer Dragoon games and Orta is no exception so got to get the game out of the case and play it all over again and again... and if possible even more. It will be like playing ninja gaiden on my 360 and finishing it!

I would say that you are in for the time of your life when you play jet set Radiooo and Panzer dragoon Orta. :)

I only have Jet set radio on my dreamcast.

[TwoXist]

Soul Calibur II oh how i have missed thee

[charmed699]

I remember playing soul calibur on my friend's dreamcast and that was definetly a fantastic fighter.

[UKJAY]

Soul Calibur II oh how i have missed thee

You sent me a private message, but you dont accept them back....heres my reply

You live in Devon? Is there alot of people there that are named Devon? By the way my name is Devon[/quote]

No next to nobody is named Devon. It's a very green area full of little villages, farms, and moors land... for some reason unbeknown to me....everyone seems to be called Jack...

[max2663]

I like Tigerwoods golf and Sonic Riders...

I discovered the other day that MAX2663 is actually two different people using the same gamertag and online forums... I know I joke a fair bit, but im being serious.

Max is 14 or 15, the other one is a fair bit older - about 18 or 19 I think. It's also why the post's go normal at times and slightly off the wall at other times...they put together their words and sentances slightly different...

Max...what is the name of the older guy ? Is he your older brother or friend ???

no its just one guy (just me) sorry to burst your hypothesis

[BlancoMeow21]

I gotta tip my hat to Mercenaries, Unreal Championship 2 and Star Wars Republic Commando. All are games that I've been waiting for. It's about time ...

[Nino]

So many awesome titles that I'm gonna have to rebuy on that list. Poor wallet.

At least you can buy them used. I already picked up UC2 for a mere $5.00, and I plan on getting Mercenaries and Star Wars Republic Commando (if I can find it) shorty.

[Nino]

That's true, it's great value for your money. But it's still much-needed money dripping from my wallet though.

[nofear360]

I'm getting Ninja Gaiden today or tomorrow :). Can't wait to get my ass handed to me lol.

[Rival24]

I'm not spending any money on these crappy games :P

[nofear360]

You mean you're not spending your money on any games, be it Xbox or 360. *points his finger at Rival's gamertag* :P

Well, there haven't been any interesting games for a while... at least not for me.

[nofear360]
