That sucks Zen. I bought Cold Fear because I was in the mood for some shovelware survival horror and the 360 doesn't support it. I should have checked the list before buying. Here's the list for you:

They underestimated how much people wanted BC, so they now have to go back, game by game and basically force each one to work on 360. Some games were not budging, and basically can't be emulated. The two most famous of Burnout Revenge and Chronicles of Riddick, and both developers, Critereon and Starbreeze decided to remake the games for HD exactly because Microsoft couldn't emulate the originals. I guess in a small way there's a little silver lining in the clouds. Check the list next time before you purchase and keep looking at it since it gets updated every month. 

 

not being able to play this game BC pissed me off, I tried to play it on my original xbox, but I just couldn't. I play my 360 on a mini dvd player, and playing on a reg. sized tv with no tv in the bckground on just feels wrong. (and huge-ass size of the orig. xbox makes playing on a mini dvd impossible almost)
