When it comes to determining backwards compatibility, the ball is entirely in Microsoft' s court. As you' d expect, they' ve already baked-in all the no-brainer Xbox games that will work on 360 (e.g., Halo 1 and 2, Knights of the Old Republic, Fable, etc.), but with the Xbox 360 launch just around the corner this November, the boys from Redmond are unofficially reaching out to the gaming community to learn what remaining games Xbox fans would like to see backwards compatible on Xbox 360. So 1UP.com is gonna help them out and ask the gaming community at large, as to which of the following Xbox games they' d want to see on 360 -- day one, out of the box.

We present 80 worthy Xbox titles that they' re still on the fence about. 80 games that will, over the course of the next 5 days, battle it out to the death. While there are no guarantees that the top 10 or 20 games will make it into the backwards compatibility list, or even what the cut-off number will be for the top titles, the stakes here are unquestionably high. To be sure, Microsoft will be checking out these results to gauge consumer interest in many of these excellent games. And they will act accordingly. So know that your vote will make a difference in the final outcome.

Go vote for your favorite Xbox games now... *cough* Shenmue II!!
