MGS4 Gun Metal edition is NOT backwards compatible.

I never really liked handheld i like playing on a big tv...

Yeah I need to pick up Beyond Good and Evil too. Geist was interesting but in the end I exchanged it for Killer 7.

I think your wrong. It must either be software emulation or Imported NTSC. I don't even think they're selling the software emulation one over here.

Does anyone recommend Mercenaries for the Xbox360 bc? I must have missed that one first time over and I'm only just reading about it.

Wait, why aren't you including PS3 again?ChrnoTrigger

Because the only Playstation 3's which are backwards compatible are A: American, and B: Early Adoptions.

In England for example, no PS3's are backwards compatible. None whatsoever.

Deeper NPC dialogue. Remove item scaling and level scaling. Sophisticated storyline more important than fancy cinematics. Every guild quest as well thought out as the Dark Brotherhood quests from the last game.

I voted for the third option (dialogue), although your poll choices where limited.

I do there is a number of Xbox games I can no longer play due to the fact I sold me Xbox when buying the 360. I am still hoping for more updates.

The ending sequence in your signature is from the first game I ever completed. :)

And yes, BC is very important.

Backwards compatibility is really really important. It was one of the main reasons why the Playstation 2 took off as it did, along with it being a much cheaper alternative to a high end DVD player. Games later on secured it's success, which makes it all the more puzzling that Sony decided to drop Backwards compatibility in all PAL regions and NTSC regions shortly after launch.
So with Playstation 3 summarily excluded from this topic, it is time to discuss the top backwards compatible platforms this generation, the Nintendo DS, the Xbox360 and the Nintendo Wii.

What you have to do is reccomend one backwards compatible game for each platform. Since backwards compatible games are cheap you will have no problem picking up some lost ground for only a few pounds, dollars, or euros. :)

NDS - Golden Sun
Wii - F-Zero GX
360 - Panzer Dragoon Orta

Yes - it's one of the major factors why I do not yet own a Playstation 3.

For those who own a Wii - pick up F-Zero GX.
For those who own a DS - pick up Golden Sun.
For those who own a 360 - pick up Jade Empire.
