I found this list on Yahoo News and think it’s interesting to look at what you don’t get with the upcoming Xbox 360 as the press oohs and ahhs over the new console. But it’s also not quite fair, since many of the games aren’t available on the current Xbox either. Based on this, the only solution is to buy every gaming device and use them all. Oh wait….I do.
1. The Warriors ($50;Xbox, PS2)

Release date: Out now
2. Mario Kart DS ($35; Nintendo DS)

Release date: Out now
3. Infected ($40; PSP)

I’d eat my hat if Valve didn’t release a 360 version of Half-Life 2. Possibly even with HDR lighting enabled (planned as a future upgrade to the PC Game).
As for the rest of the list, Infected and Mario Kart DS are both handheld games!!! And are cool because they are handheld.

Oh, and the list is just plain WRONG.
Here is the list of XBOX games that *are* compatible with the XBOX360: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm
Notice that Half-Life 2 is on the list. As well as Shadow the HedgeHog.
Would be nice if Chris Bunting actually did some research.
