Quite a few good backwards compatible games. From the ones I own Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the one that still gets the most time inthe 360. Fantastic multiplayer game in its own right, made even better by the 360 controller (shoulder buttons FTW). Also as someone else said, cant go wrong with Ninja Gaiden. Still havent beaten it myself, but still enjoy getting my ass handed to me with the hopes I will one day beat it. I would have recommended Half life2 if they would have fixed the slow down and loading problems, but alas it seems even worse on the 360. Just played and beat Conker: Live and Reloaded awhile back, another fun game if you like old school platformers.
Im sure there are plenty more great BC games (just go to xbox.com and check out the list anddo a little research on the onesthat interest you) but those are the ones I play the most of.
I like Jade Empire. It's an action RPG from Bioware.Terami
Ditto. I'm having great fun with Jade Empire. I play it in long spurts and it's great fun. Reminds me a lot of KOTOR which was also made by them. Besides that I'd recommend Ninja Gaiden Black, and maybe Mercenaries and Panzer Dragoon Orta even though I haven't played those last two.
The best games i know of are jade empire, ninja gaiden, oddworld strangers wrath, dreamfall, super monkey ball, JSRF and both KOTOR games. All these should be B/C and i only know of jade empire having a few problems. Even better thought though is that you go out and buy a cheap as chips second hand x-box.

Oddworld isn't BC. JSRF only works off the single game disc. The JSRF and SegaGT 2002 double game disc doesn't work.

KOTOR 1 will give you roughly 30 hours of gameplay and KOTOR 2 will give you roughly 20 to 25 hours of gameplay. You can buy them used at Gamecrazy or Eb for around $8 to $12 each now.
Both are very fun games - especially KOTOR 1. In fact they both won allot of awards - again, especially KOTOR 1. :)
They are role playing - but incredibly fun - it's cool to build your own custom types of light-sabers and such.

custom as in double edged, and color? how good is character customization
In Kotor, the lightsaber goes into what color you want-and what that color means-the crystals that go into powering it, and the type you want (single, double). Character customization stat wise is good, but you only have limited options atheistically. One thing to note though, playing Kotor 1 on my 360 led to some horrible lag with the voice acting. It is really a shame because all of the dialouge is very well done, but the time difference on the 360 kills it. Knights II doesn't have this problem as far as I can tell.
Other games of note: Jade Empire: runs very well, but sometimes you'll have a this loud "swooshing" sound when you attack. Doesn't really matter though.
Half-Life 2: runs very well in my experience, though some have spoken of physics problems. I assume they're very rare.
Counter-Strike: awesome online if you can get some mates together to play this relic. Framerate dives are frequent though.
Conker L&R: works flawlessly and rivals some 360 games graphically
Unreal Championship 2: runs well and the online is awesome if you can find the/a friggin' game
DOOM 3: read above
Shemnue II: runs very well, and is alot of fun. If you can get past the voice acting, and the graphics, and the sailors, and...

I am not sure about KOTOR 1 but KOTOR 2 doesn't really run 100% on the Xbox 360. There are times when the music will cut out and you will also get random sound glitches once in a while. Also KOTOR 2 has horrible slow down which can drop the game to a snails pace. I recommend Jade Empire as it runs flawlessly and actually seems to look a bit better when on the 360.
ninja gaiden is great(get ninja gaiden black though), Jade Empire was very fun, i really like manhunt but that depends on how squemish you are, Some people don't like the fable games but personally they're one of my favorite RPGs of all time (lost chapters), The punisher was ok, enjoyable... Thats it, hope i helped

My copy of KOTOR 1 occasionally froze on the end of videos, and skipped occasionally, so nothing really substantial. Twas a brilliant game, and has different endings which means replayability (hooray!)
