Microsoft hasn't forgotten about its backwards compatibility promises after all.

The latest update adds a whopping 80 titles to the list of old Xbox games that work on Xbox 360, bringing the total up to a pretty respectable... loads.

Key games to get excited about maybe playing again but never actually getting around to it are Burnout 2, the ancient (but good) Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb, ace boxing game Rocky, Fight Night: Round 3 and (let's put in a really rubbish one as a joke) Freestyle Street Soccer.

All you need to know about how to get these old Xbox games running on your 360 can be found here. If you're on Xbox Live, it'll just magically happen on its own.

This update does not work on 40GB PlayStation3s, by the way.
