![]() If you have an Xbox One and you’ve never played these games before, I recommend giving them a bash. In alphabetical order, mind: I can’t be arsed with any “number 17? It should have been 16 you prick” nonsense. With that in mind, I’ve put together this list of the 20 XBLA games on the backwards compatible list that I personally consider must-owns. If you’re a long-time Xbox 360 owner then these titles will be familiar to you, but if Xbox One is your first Microsoft console – or even if you’ve only had a 360 for the last couple of years – there may be a few that don’t ring a bell. Some are relatively new, others stretch all the way back to the Xbox 360’s launch a decade ago. However, the vast majority of games on the list are Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) games – titles that were only made available to buy digitally through the Xbox 360’s online storefront. ![]() These are well-known titles so chances are you don’t need a hack like me (tired and old or otherwise) to tell you if they’re any good. Some of these are retail games: the likes of Assassin’s Creed II, Fallout 3, the entire Gears Of War saga and the first Mass Effect (but not the other two, oddly) are in there. The first batch of backwards compatible games launches on Xbox One on Thursday, giving players the chance to play 104 titles from the Xbox 360 catalogue on Microsoft’s current-gen console.
