This is really cool but but just so everyone is aware you can emulate these games super easy and get them for free.
I want to say don't give money to Xbox but on the other hand it IS actually really cool that they are doing this and I almost do want to support something so pro consumer in a way.
If they release Conkers Bad Fur Day reloaded or Blue Dragon I'm definitely buying those.
Microsoft could have done this for years. The only reason it's doing it now is because almost all of its new games in the last 10 years flopped terribly.
So, Microsoft stop console to focus on PC and brings more games on it? Great, but the current hardware situation is also a problem...
Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are probably up there on people's lists too. I get it for Blue Dragon, but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I hear about how much people like Lost Odyssey.
Blue dragon is the only game of the Xbox360 library I'd like to have (back).
GIVE ME ACE COMBAT 6
If you've already played Ace Combat 7, and are not yet familiar with it, you might look into Project Wingman.
Enchanted Arms plz

This isn't a list of "on XBox 360, but not PC" games, since there could be games that came out on multiple consoles but not on the PC, but it's probably a reasonable approximation to get a list of what games might be involved.
