I thought they'd go for more diversity rather than releasing games in bulk that relate to the same IP:

Looks way better than I expected.

Not bad

a few missing like Mirror's Edge, DiRT 3 and Dungeon Siege 3 that are already confirmed, but a good start nonetheless. Looks like Ubisoft is one of the biggest supporters of the BC feature.

Am I the only one who sees the number of Rare games on that list and thinks that the main purpose of the Rare collection was to make the backwards compatibility for XB1?

Cool

That is quite the list! Seems my external drive will reach its limit earlier than expected :).

Alan Wake
Civ Revolution
Gunslinger

These alone make it an incredible list for me.

Saints Row 1 and 3, but no 2...?

Seems like a good start to me, especially better than not having anything at all.
