A couple of days ago, we were able to update you on some game titles that have been patched up to be backwards compatible for the Xbox Live. Now, if you thought your 360 couldn't get any more, well, "alive" with Xbox Live, Major Nelson has posted Microsoft's August '06 list of game titles which have been made compatible with your 360. The list includes nearly 50 games, some of which were already compatible before, but are now updated.

This new patch brings the entire list of backwards compatible games to around 300 titles. Imagine, 300! Doesn't it make you feel like treating all those 300 games as Pokemon? Gotta catch 'em all, kids! So here's the August '06 list. Make sure you click the Full Article link below to see the rest of the games.

 » no Psychonauts

I don't have any of these games, and don't get me wrong because I think it's a pretty good list but I a lot of us are getting a little impatient with the fact that Psychonauts keeps being neglected. I mean, it doesn't even seem like a difficult game to emulate plus Double Fine has offered to help them make it happen! What else do they need? Ok, end of rant.

Conker Like and Reloaded would be a great title to add. Its actually the ONLY xbox game I want to play on my 360. I think RARE should remake Banjo Kazooie and Tooie as well as Goldeneye and Perfect Dark for the 360. That would definately kick ass!
