"Going back to the Xbox 360 catalog has been purifying. I'm sorry Microsoft has stopped, for now, the launch of more titles compatible with the new consoles. There is a lot to discover on Xbox and Xbox 360 and I would love to be able to do it on my Xbox One S."
SEGA's Condemned: Criminal Origins arrived as an innovative yet flawed Xbox 360 launch title, but is worth revisiting on modern consoles.
Would actually love to see a remake/reboot of Condemned. So very underappreciated... I was a bit of an Xbox hateboy back during the time this came out. But I did own a 360 for a short time back then. Thankfully this is one of the games I got to check out. Thanks to it being super cheap at a GameStop. At least it got a sequel, but it deserved to be a whole franchise honestly.
I didn't think the second was bad. It just didn't feel like the original, and went really off the rails with the sorting.
It was like playing Condemned while you're really sick, and Condemned was the fever dream that came after you went to sleep.
I am still playing Condemned 1 & 2. Both games deserve a remake or remaster. I am still baffled why 2 is not on the back compat list.

We can only hope that we will at least get a port to the Condemned 2: Bloodshot game on PC and current-gen consoles, or why not a sequel someday soon? One can only dream."
Condemned was amazing! Had a really cool multi-player as well, such a shame it we never got another one after 2. Brings back some great memories on the 360. Condemned was definitely one of the first games I picked up for the 360. Loved the atmosphere and the amount of melee items you could utilize. Would really love if Microsoft could somehow reboot this franchise!
I never got to play the MP for 2 but my brother always mentions about how good it was.
It's a shame we never got a third game. The original was better than the second, in my opinion, but that's far from saying the second was bad.
There are still a few more games I hope to see on the Xbox BC list. To name a few:
Beautiful Katamari
Eternal Sonata
Max Payne 3
The 360 - XBO bc program has been shifted to the 360 - XSX bc program now. Same with og xb bc games. MS said they were going to make even more og and 360 games bc for the SX.
I have my fingers crossed for Mechassault !!!
There’s a lot more games I’d like to see backward compatible three right off the top of my head are Aliens Vs Predator: Extinction, Wrath, Battle for Middle Earth 2.
