Backwards Compatibility Update for Xbox 360 Released


Today, Microsoft released an update to the Xbox 360's Backwards Compatibility Software, enabling over 20 more Xbox games to be played on an Xbox 360. This includes such great titles as Doom 3 (including the Limited Collector's Edition) and LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, however it does not include Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil. With any luck, that title will be added in a future update.

According to various gamers, Doom 3's performance is improved greatly on the Xbox 360, with faster load times and smoother frame rates. Even the Classic titles found in the Limited Collector's Edition runs smoother.
