    Full list here.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360

    The likes of the old Halo games do (seeing that they're MS), but was p!ssed when MGS Substance didn't. Aw.

    Cool, so that list has the games that 'most likely' will run on the x360.
    thanks!

    Wanted to get half life 2 and cold fear but damn they both dont seem to work on the 360.

    EDIT: Half Life 2 does work, duh.

    What orig xbox games would you guys recommend?

    Me and some others have had original xbox games stop working after a recent dash update.

    That compatibility list is also full of lies. Some of the games listed as working have game breaking glitches. Panzer Dragoon Orta for one crashes after stage 3 so you can't get any further. Also some listed as working only boot into the main menu or start up logos before crashing.

    Edit: ah wikipedia list, seems far more complete than the MS one.
