When Microsoft first debuted its Xbox 360 video gaming console, it made sure that the system could play several of the games from the original Xbox system. This backward compatibility allowed players to refrain from buying new versions of games for a new system. While many games can be played on both consoles, some will not work on the Xbox 360.
"James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire"
Electronic Arts released the shooting video game "James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire" for the Xbox in March 2002. The game is rated suitable for those 13 and over, and is also available on the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube. "Agent Under Fire" is an independent James Bond story not based on any of the movies. To succeed, players must use a number of different cars and weapons provided by the MI6 agency.
"Marvel: Ultimate Alliance"
Activision released the action video game "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance" for Xbox, Game Boy Advance, PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and Nintendo Wii in October 2006. The game was also released for Xbox 360, but the Xbox version will not work with the newer console. "Ultimate Alliance" lets players play out battles between a group of superheroes and supervillains who are fighting for control. Created by Raven Software, the game is rated acceptable for players 13 and older.
"The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind"
Bethesda Softworks released the role-playing game "The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind" for PC and Xbox players in June 2002. Rated appropriate for players 13 and up, "Morrowind" is a game in which players assume the role of a character who is sent to a foreign land called Morrowind. Players must find items and talk to the people they meet in Morrowind to figure out what their mission really is.
"Psychonauts"
Majesco Games released the adventure game "Psychonauts" for the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PC in April 2005. Created by Double Fine Productions, the game is rated suitable only for players 13 and over. Although the game runs on the Xbox, Microsoft never made "Psychonauts" compatible with the Xbox 360. The game tells the story of a group of psychically gifted people who are suddenly plagued with nightmares. Players must get to the bottom of what is causing these dreams and why they are occurring.
