Back compat update tomfoolery, Psychonauts
Working in close, yet uncomfortable collusion with Joystiq last night, we unearthed a newly updated backwards compatibility list on Xbox.com. The list has subsequently been zapped back into the nether realm, where it will undergo further transmogrifications. For the brief and precious moment that the new list was alive, we had the presence of mind to both copy and paste the entire list. Of course, the big question with every back compat update is, "is Psychonauts on there?" The answer is was "yes." Other notable titles on the list included Shenmue II, Indigo Prophesy, DOA Ultimate, and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Don't jump for joy just yet, though. When contacted by Joystiq, Microsoft told them that the list is not final and may yet change. That won't stop us from poring over the list and dreaming, though. Take a gander at the list after the break.
The following games were all listed as "new."
