Psychonauts Is Finally Backwards Compatible!
The 360 BC list has just been updated with a slew of noteworthy past-gen titles. All of the Tim Schaffer fans should rest their weary heads, Microsoft has heeded your pleas and patched up Psychonauts to play on your shiny 360. Psychonauts is really a gem of a game, if you would like some solid platforming adventure goodness, look no further. This game has got style in spades. It’s one of the best platformers I’ve ever played, unfortunately the game was about 2 years too late. Gaming changed quickly in those pivotal years and audiences weren’t really receptive upon it’s arrival. Some other titles to look forward to playing are Shenmue II, Ultimate Spiderman, and Indigo Prophecy. Indigo Prophecy has an excellently crafted narrative, cutting back and forth between several characters, spinning an intelligent tale of intrigue.
For the full list of backwards compatible titles, make the jump.

Platformers are my favorite games, bar none…. it’s too bad gaming shifted so hard towards military sims, first person shooters, and first person military shooter sims.
I dunno whether to get Psychonauts for the PS2 or hold out till I get a 360 and buy the Xbox version, now.
YES! I’ve wanted Indigo for so long! Same with Psychonauts, but not as badly! And hell, how freaking long has it been since the last damned update?!!?
Too long Cerberus, too long.
people who haven’t considered Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy should definitely give it a shot.. it’s got some good ideas.. story loses it somewhat part way through but the overall package is quite sweet..
also – YAY.. buffy – finally.. having never had an original xbox and unable to play the buffy game (other than chaos bleeds which wasn’t as fun) i’m pshyced to see the original will play on my new toy.. everyone should buy at least two copies :D
yes! finally the original buffy is backwards comp. now… i’m sooo soo so so so happy! i’ve been waiting for that one… now all they need now is jet set radio future
