It's been a long time coming, but today, Microsoft have given the gamers what they wanted - a new backwards compatibility update, which adds support for over 30 new games, many of which gamers had been crying out for for some time now. Shenmue II, Far Cry, Farenheit, Dead Or Alive Ultimate and Psychonauts are all in there, begging gamers to dust off their old Xbox collection, or even invest in some "old school" gaming once again. We're sure that Double-Fine Production, the developers of Psychonauts, will be pleased with this news, as they can call off their long campaign to get gamers to barrage Microsoft with e-mails. If you don't remember this story, here's a summary of what they asked you to do.
"I want you to get up. I want you to walk over to your window right now. I want you to open your window up, and then I want you to stick your head out, and then I want you to take in a nice breath of fresh air, and then I want you to close that window and walk back to your computer and click on this link and send Microsoft a heartfelt message. Something to the effect of, 'I am a 9-year-old boy in the hospital, dying of consumption, and my last wish is to play Psychonauts on my Xbox 360!' (Please, try to make up your own disease.)"
Maybe peer pressure does work sometimes?
