I'm very much looking forward to this one, but I still wish they'd just make a patch for Psi Ops...

Unless these games have achievements.

Then I have no problem.

I was going to complain about this being another way to nickel-and-dime gamers to death, but I gotta say, this is a much better value than VC. It shouldn't take priority over backwards compatibility, but for anyone that doesn't have the games yet, it seems to be a nice move on MS's part.

Lol, achievements. You guys need to get a life and play games for the fun of it. Not for a giant e-penis.

I agree, to me getting an achievement is "Hey! Look at that! I walked on water! (Play TimeShift) Sweet. Now back to the game itself." instead of three hours of blood, sweat, tears and broken controllers hurled across room.

Also, I'll probably front up for Psychonauts and Halo.

I've got Halo for PC, so I don't need that, but I've never played Pyschonauts, so I should probably get that. Not a bad price at 1200 points either.

Also, they almost definitely will not have achievements. No Original Xbox games have them. It's a 360 thing.

They can't and they won't. I'll probably get Fable if it's released for it.

Halo 2 PC had them... But that IS PC...

Anyways, I've read a little into it, apparently they don't run perfect, little choppiness, framerate drops, n' such...

But worst of all, selecting the 'Demos' section for any of these games apparently causes them to crash. :O

God damn it. >:(

There's achievements for the old classic Sega games now, like Sonic 2 and the like. They never had achievements, so why can't they do it with the old Xbox games as well?

That's kind of stupid. Don't they have (or have access to) the source code?

With all honesty, why would I want to spend 15 dollars, on a game I could buy for 9.99 or less at a used game store? Also, I have the disc I could bring along places a lot easier than a hard drive.
I don't understand how this appeals very well.

People don't have disc. Not compatible. A loong list of reasons.

Games like those were remade for the Xbox Live Arcade by the developers and such. These games are just so that people can play the old games that they might not have owned, which arn't available in actual retail stores.
