Right back compat ya!


The list of backward compatible titles may be growing (ooh...Spongebob) but that doesn't mean that every title is worth a trip down memory lane. Reader PJ writes:

There are many of us who purchased Half-Life 2 in hopes of playing it on our 360. How ever this proved to be impossible with the physics engine wacking out on many gamers. I cannot even pretend to play because on Highway 17 my character fall directly through the floor. If you want a video i will post it for you without hesitation. We are all being crapped on by steam and xbox.

IGN touched on various emulation issues back in January and assured everyone that Microsoft was issuing the necessary patches, so it's a shame to hear that Half-Life 2 is still half-assed. I don't think most people buy a 360 to play old games, but I understand why people are pissed. I'm sure MS will remind us that Spongebob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom works fine.

How much do you care about backwards compatibility and what kind of bugs have you run into?
