There haven't been a whole lot of new releases in the last fortnight, but there's been some very good reasons to revisit old games. Especially if you own an Xbox.

We often criticise gaming platform makers for their missteps, so let us also praise them when they do something great: Xbox One's backward compatibility feature is nothing short of perfection.

Microsoft has brought a bunch of Xbox original games to the Xbox One consoles, one of which is the excellent Knights of the Old Republic. And if you haven't played KOTOR on console in a while, good news: it's looking a lot cleaner.

With new speculation about which games Microsoft will have available at the start of it's Xbox to Xbox One backward compatibility program, it's a good time to remember just how many great games were exclusive to the old platform.

Microsoft is expanding Xbox One's backward compatibility program to the first Xbox, it said today at its E3 media briefing. Original Xbox games will begin appearing on the platform later this year.
