More Xbox games playable on 360

Early this month, Microsoft VP Peter Moore stated that "nobody is concerned anymore about backward compatibility", prompting the company's PR department into action. Moore has since retracted the statement, saying he was taken out of context.

Regardless of what was said before, it's apparent that people do still care about backward compatibility on the Xbox 360. Microsoft has announced the latest additions to its list of Xbox games run on the company's next-gen console.
