Earlier today, Xbox's Major Nelson put out on Twitter the newest addition to the Xbox One backwards compatible library of games. Now available is the Xbox Live Arcade puzzler Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos. Originally a PC title in 2007, it was later ported over to the Xbox 360 in 2009. Interpol is a search and find based puzzler to uncover clues to stop Dr. Chaos. Hop on and give it a spin for nostalgia sake. Did you enjoy playing Interpol before and are you going to replay now on Xbox One? Let us know in the comment section below!

We recently came across some strange store activity that could suggest Microsoft is making more games backwards compatible. Now, we've spotted another two Xbox 360 titles on the Microsoft Store with the backwards compatible ID.
I hope to see the Timesplitters series get added to the current backwards compatibility catalogue. Goldeneye -Esque shooters aren’t made anymore.
Silent Hill 2 and 4 would be better titles to add to the BC list the a then Are You Smarter then a 5th Grader First Templar I have never heard of. I am not going out of my way to buy these two titles kind of lazy to add these two titles when all Microsoft has to do is bang on Konami's door to add SH2 and 4. Downpour and Homecoming work so why not add 2 and 4 to the list.
You mean 2&3 are in the HD collection.. Silent Hill 4 the Room was only on the OG Xbox, pc and ps2. But is currently playable thru BC on the xbox 360, not xbox one
@MissAubrey
Yes, I’m aware (I own every Silent Hill game released - yes, all, the PS1 original all the way down to the PC, Xbox, and Wii releases, and am emulating the first on PC). I know what’s what. I simply couldn’t change the typo nor finish the edit since N4G’s option expires.
Regardless, 4 was never an Xbox 360 game, and therefore, BC can’t exist in the way he’s requesting for it.
@BehindTheRows
SH2 and SH3 are on the HD Collection and yes BC can work with the OG Xbox on Xbox 1, Series X/S Microsoft has all ready added some OG Xbox games to the list of BC games. Microsoft even announced that some OG Xbox games will work on newer Xbox systems at E3.
@BehindtheRows
SH2 on the HD Collection is a poor mans copy it's way different from the PS2 and OG Xbox port so is SH3 in the HD Collection is way different then its PS2 cousin.
@MissAubrey
I never said you DID say that. I was talking about him.
Uh, yes I know (like I already said, it was a typo). You asked about 2 (already BC in the HD Collection) and 4, which ISN’T on the 360, unlike 3, Downpour, and Homecoming.
If you’re speaking about Xbox BC, in general, then that’s different and 4 (from the original Xbox) will most likely be added one day. Your other option is to maybe grab a PC and a copy or emulate the PS2 version with said PC.
I said SH4 was playable on the 360 thru OG xbox backwards compatibility. "playable on 360" not playable on Xbone/Series.
It's too bad we have OG titles like Deathrow and others that haven't been made compatible yet. MS has made a great effort bringing over the majority of their library but 1st gen XBOX titles have fallen through the cracks.
the moral of the story here folks is they brought bc back! yes these titles suck but atleast we know now they are back at it again after alittle hiatus!
There’s a magical moment when you open up Kameo, an original launch title for Xbox 360, and it shows you last played in 2008, and you’re able to jump right back into the game like you never left.
I think if Microsoft really wanted to leverage their 360 library they would work to bring 360 emulation to PC and offer games like Fable 2 on Game Pass for PC.
Their goal would be to keep moving forward will the streaming service. Get the latency down on that so there wouldn't be a need for an emulator.
His point is... they could bring *that* emulator from the cloud hardware and let us be able to run 360-exclusive games on our own PCs.
I'd understand third party games being excluded by licensing deals, but it would be awesome if MS could have 360 emulation as a download into the Windows App for at least their own titles.
My guess is they haven't done this just because getting reliable/predictable performance with emulation on PC where there's a billion hardware configurations is complicated. Easier to have it running on fixed hardware and streamed to the PC.
@saishi
I can not comment on other cloud streaming platforms, but the only issue i have had with xcloud, is the odd bit of freezing, but other than that the games seem to play ok, at least on my galaxy S9.
It's not perfect, but it is good enough for dropping into a game on a work break or lunch.
PS - when i am at home, i do not use xcloud, i use the console. And xcloud performs quite well for something still in beta.
@RazzerRedux
Those that want 360 emulation on PC, have been able to do that for years.
I have a PS2 emulator on my mobile.
Obviously I'm talking about the official Xbox 360 emulation that Microsoft created and not third party emulators.
That would be cool. Not going to lie but Microsoft has been saving me lot's of money with GamePass for PC
Finally some Xbox 360 games on X-Cloud for play on cell phones. Took them a long time. I'll play some Morrowind and Oblivion on my phone. Thank you Microsoft
Replies(1)Can we please get Ninja Gaiden 2 for X-Cloud please. Since Tecmo will not put original Gaiden 2 on switch. I want to play a portable Ninja Gaiden 2 at work on my lunch hours
It was on Game Pass until a month or two before they announced the Master Collection - very likely not a coincidence.
I just would love the option to play Ninia Gaiden 2 anywhere. That would be a dream game to take around. I am not asking for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 portable. I want Ninja Gaiden 2 portable
What you would whip out a phone and then whip out a controller on your break to play games?
Merrin I always keep a extra Xbox One controller in my walmart work locker 365 days a year. Literally. I've been playing Xbox One games on my lunch hour on my phone for over 1 year. I was a x-cloud beta tester since the beginning
I got this backbone one and have been using it non stop during down time at work. I’ve been remote playing Octopath Traveler getting my grind in. I really love this thing. Highly recommended. Cmon XCloud iOS. This news is good because I want to eventually play Lost Odyssey the same way.
BackBone is a great ios controller addon been at work for 14 hours now and the controller works perfectly. i think it's better than razer kishi
Yeah everyone says it’s better then Kishi but that was the other one i weighed before going with this one. This thing feels premium right out of the box.
After Xbox's announcement that there won't be any more backwards compatible games until the release of Project Scarlett, here's a reflection of what could, or perhaps should have been.
Not only would it have been great if Max Payne, Freedom Fighters, Nier, Blur and Lollipop Chainsaw got to become backwards compatible, it also would be great if those games got to have more games come out in their franchises.
Its not as backwards compatibity is dead its just been put on hold so all backwards compatibity game work on next xbox then when its released they will start up again, P.S I did finish Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth
Might get the chance when Scarlett comes out. I mean for all games Xbox 360 and Original Xbox. I can dream it happening.
I'm just waiting for the day I see Sonic All Star Racing for BC.
Not sure if it was your intention, but you clickbaited hard
is....Ninja gaiden tw-... oh another boring game.Just kidding,i know it's not up to microsoft with 3rd party,but i wish ninja gaiden 2,tales of vesperia,lost odyssey,bluedragon ,eternal sonata,pgr4 and a few others were bc already.
I really would love it if some of the very very very small titles made it to BC. There is this indie game 3d Infinity which is IMHO the best 3d game out there. I would love for that to be on BC.
I can hardly contain my excitement! Enough with the crappy games Larry.
