All the titles mentioned above will run off of their original disc or digitally, provided the user owns the physical version of the game. While there has actually been no word on whether or not they will be available for purchase through the Xbox Live Marketplace, there’s no reason why they won’t be, else the entire announcement would be rendered rather mute.
In addition to the new batch of original Xbox games, Microsoft also revealed that six newly enhanced Xbox 360 games are now available to play, including Darksiders, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Red Dead Redemption, Portal 2, Gears of War 2, and Sonic Generations. It’ll be interested to see what other titles Microsoft decides to add to the list of backwards compatible games, with the next batch possibly being announced at this years E3.
