Well, I just got me a physical copy of Project Zero 2/Fatal Frame 2, so I'd love to see that added in the next OG Xbox batch, even though I'm not sure that could happen because of the series' current ties to Nintendo. It was a decent price for a brand new copy as well, so I'd probably double dip on digital. Come on, Tecmo.
Oh, and NG2 while you're at it, thanks!

Damn, thats awesome! Thanks you guys and Kotaku :D
I am having a very annoying issue. If anyone has a similar experience or fix, that would be great!
SO I have been playing through Half Life 2 in the orange box recently. On the last level of the game. (Where the gravity gun becomes blue and you can pick up people with it.) There is a moment in this level, where the moment myself or an object I throw, crosses this invisible line, the game freezes and puts out this very loud annoying audio. I have to go home and quit out of the game and re launch to have anything in the game be responsive.
I have tried playing this section 6 different times. Resetting the xbox in between, etc. Same thing happens every time. Guess I am never finishing Half Life 2 on this play through haha

Playing on a Xbox One X via BC. Should have mentioned that
I've had that crash with the loud noise before, can't say it was Half Life for sure but I know I did play it on XB1. Best thing to do is file a crash report to Microsoft I think they have a Twitter or Email you can report it to.
I was going to say I would upload my old save from the 360 to my One and chapter over to there and see if I could reproduce it, but there's currently a big snow storm going on here, and it took me two hours just to get home. I'm going to bed. Sorry.
If no one solves it before tomorrow and I manage to get off work, I'll do it tonight.
Much appreciated if you can get around to it at any point! Stay safe.
Let me try to find a walkthrough of the level in question and I can time stamp the exact spot. (I'm worried its my specific save file and my only other game is at the beginning of the game. lol)
No new games for today.
Since we haven't had any new games this month that were announced on a Tuesday, I'm just going to switch to Thursdays from now on.

8 for the entire month. Not bad really, especially since they always start late in January.
EDIT: Err, unless they have more to announce on Thursday. Almost forgot that Thursday is still January. Lol.
On the contrary, I would venture to say that this is on track to be the least productive January for the program yet and, arguably, the weakest. 8 would be the lowest number of games added from any January, counting from 2016, 2017, and 2018. Not to mention that one of them was a game that was known to be arriving for nearly four months in AC 6. The latest any January's first announcement has been was the program's first January in 2016, on the 21st, back when they would add games in single waves.
January 2016 had a total of 10, all on one day, back before they shifted from a single day drop to Tuesdays and Wednesdays:
Aegis Wing
Age of Booty
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Jeremy McGrath's Offroad
Skullgirls: Encore
Small Arms
Soul Calibur
Space Giraffe
Witcher 2

January 2017 had a total of 19, comfortably the January with the most games added, and I think among the best single months the program's ever had:
Battlefield 3
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Ghostbusters: The Video Game
Scrap Metal
The Splatters
Strania
Beatn Groovy
Mega Man 9
Mega Man 10
Midway Arcade Origins
Mutant Storm Empire
Tekken 6
Alice: Madness Returns
Rocket Knight
Shadows of the Damned
JUJU
Mad Tracks
Stuntman Ignition

Driver: San Francisco

Not the most encouraging indicator for the rest of the year's pace. Here's hoping for some more games from my list getting crossed off.
Damn, I forgot how good we had it. Okay, 8 isn't a good indicator for the rest of the year. Here's hoping it can get the total number to at least 10 on Thursday.
One thing I was thinking about with BC games is that with new machine learning texture upgrade methods is that if Microsoft will jump in and upgrade some of the bc games with new textures. They'd probably have to start with their own games due to publishing issues but if it's popular it would be nice to play some of the older games with more than just resolution upgrades.
That's be amazing, and yeah not outside the realm of possibility.
Might be more likely a feature they'd work on for next gen rather than Xbox One, though. Certainly the performance headroom for 360 BC and especially oXbox BC on next gen hardware will give them a lot more wiggle room for improvements.

Can you try running that part without the X resolution enhancement (select regular 360 resolution in the 360/X menu)? (Press start+selec...I mean view + menu at the same time)
I know this doesn't necessarily mean anything, as I guess anything could hold these up from being released, but Sonic Racing would be lovely!
Edit: wait, Too Human? wtf?
I have my Too Human disc waiting. Would also love to replay Asura's Wrath.
Sneak King was on that list too. Couldn't fit it in tweet and it doesn't have a proper store listing
Doritos Crash course came or didn't it?
Thanks for the "heads up".. Uhmm BTW if ==--->JET SET RADIO FUTURE <--== Ever hits that list please PM directly!!
Anything recent on Lollipop Chainsaw? I could've sworn you found that before, a while ago, among the games that The Darkness was found in.
They had to recall and destroy all unsold copies. Something could've been worked out between MS and Epic. My guess is if it does become BC, then it will only be availabe to people who own the physical disc and won't be sold digitally to new users. Or if it is listed on the digital marketplace to be sold, Epic will get 70 to 100 percent of the profits.
That's what I'm wondering. I guess they could work something out with Epic but why go through the trouble for a game that sold poorly and is only the first of a dead trilogy?
Hopefully it happens relatively soon.
It probably doesn't cost much for either company, and maybe they figure it's worth testing the waters again for interest.
