It looks like the April 2007 backwards compatibility update for the Xbox 360 has added a number of new Xbox games, including some which we thought would never make the list due to their graphical complexities.

A few of my all time favorites, including Phantom Dust, Jet Set Radio Future and Panzer Dragoon Orta are now playable on the 360. The complete list of newly supported games includes:

• Tenku (Japan only)
• Avatar: The Last Airbender
• Avatar: The Legend of Aang (EMEA/ANZ)
• Breakdown

• Call of Duty 3
