Some games not backwards compatible?

I really hope they add support for Battlefield 2 for the 360. I want to play it so bad on my new 360 since my drive went out on ol' betty.

I can't play Burnout 3, and I'm pissed. I also can't play xvid's on the xobx hueg. I'm pissed. The fan is super dooper loud. I'm pissed. The power supply is huge, but I'm not pissed. It sits behind me behind the power supply. Who cares?

Ridge Racer MORE than makes up for the shortcomings. If you want to see pics of it on launch (mine):

Ninja Gaiden Black for the most part plays quite well, but in certain battles it drops frames like crazy. For examples when you first face two white ninjas on the first level unless you know the game will lag at that point you'll see most of your health disappear and watch the game seemingly stutter. It was most annoying. It ran, but it definitely lagged really hard in spots. I'm assuming it's a texture or something to display certain textures.

"Red Dead Revolver" has some questionable polygon issues... flickering in and out of view and such...

Backwards-compatibility is a novelty anyway. In a couple months time no one will care.

I want somone to confirm that DDR Ultramix 3 that came out on Tuesday works on the 360 or doesnt world

I love all of the Tom clancey's games along with Farcry. i read that if i got the 'Fullyloaded' 360, that i could play these games. No such luck. does anyone have any idea if or when these titles will become avalable on 360. or better still a download patch to enable backward compatability?

Cheers!

dude its awsome that the halo and halo 2 are compatibale, does any one know if it will work good on it??? i need to know!!

Well, I love my 360 but I am a bit dissheartened at the minimalistic list of games that are backwards compatible. Halo is cheeky and all but, unless you are one of the halo boys that live and die for it (not me, although cheers to Red Vs. Blue, those guys made halo interesting to me again after Halo 2 killed my love for the game) but what really dissapoints me is that the only ones on the list are for more of the non-old-schoolers. What about Elder scrolls 3? They stiffed us for 4 months for Oblivion, and now you cant even play 3. Poor play of ninja gaiden? These issues sadden me. At least we are finally getting a laundry list of RPGs with lots of shiny pretty graphics (provided the voice acting is good). I guess i have two questions, 1) Has anyone heard when they are going to get moving on making these games work i.e. date on new and relevant patch, and 2) (this more directed at microsoft) What is taking you so long to pull the thumb from your unmentionables?

I popped in my Fight Night Round 2 game, and it had an update through X-Box Live for the game. However, it freezes on the load screen. LOVELY. Also want to confirm Showdown:Legends Of Wrestling Doesnt work on 360, as well as Fight Night Round 2.



MY BIGGEST Issue with X-box 360 is the TERRIBLE LACK OF WRESTLING GAMES. SUPPORT WRESTLEMANIA XXI, I can't believe they didn't do that to begin with.
