Microsoft announced that starting in early December you will be able to download original Xbox games and play them on your Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Marketplace as part of their Live is 5ive celebrations. There are a total of seven games on the list as of now. They include:
- Burnout 3:Takedown
- Crash Bandicoot:Wrath of Cortex
- Crimson Skies
- Fable
- Fuzion Frenzy
- Psychonauts
- (of course) Halo: CE
One major dissapointment in these games is that they don't have achievements in them that we have come to love with regular Xbox 360 games. This is done "In order to preserve the integrity of the original gaming experience they provide" so "they will have the features available at the time of their initial release" according to Major Nelson. Hopefully these will be available to add later on via a patch or something. Oh yeah, they cost $15 a piece, which is reasonable I guess, although you could pick up these games in a local Gamestop for less.
