Microsoft has just issued the latest backwards compatibility update for the Xbox 360, allowing over 80 previously unsupported original Xbox games to be played on the system. I don't know if my Xbox 360 already supports backward compatibility (in the Xbox 360's case, the ability to play original Xbox games) for it, so I decided to update it. I don't have Xbox Live (which you would usually use), so I decided to update it by downloading the update from Microsoft.com and putting it on a CD, and then putting that CD in. REQUIRES LATEST TITLE UPDATE FOR DRAGON AGE II (installed automatically if you play while connected to Xbox LIVE). $9.99 Download to Xbox 360 Dragon Age™ II Mark of the Assassin Launch Trailer.

Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility Download
The Xbox 360 shipped with backward compatibility, which allows it to play many of the games made for its predecessor. Here is the full list of Xbox games that are playable on Xbox 360 in alphabetical order.
Microsoft hasn't updated this list since 2007, so if you don't see a title below, don't expect it to show up in the future.
