7/31 Update on Backwards Compatibility Voting
Welcome to the 2nd iteration of Backwards Compatibility Voting. This week, we see a lot of votes being smoothed out and lots of familiar faces among the Top 15. A couple of new ones too. Also, no more mistakes, I double checked everything this time I swear. Pinkie swear even.

7/24 Update on Backwards Compatibility Voting
Alright, so continuing on this Xbox 360 to One BC train, I thought I would do a little analysis. This first iteration is weekly (8 days close enough), but we’ll see how much time I have to update this. Basically, take votes from the previous week, go over the top 15 and the bottom. Discuss trends and all of that fun stuff. Let’s dive inside.

Announcement: Xbox 360 to One Backwards Compatibility Page
If you look straight above to the top of the page, you will see a new tab next to About Me called Xbox 360 to One BC. As mentioned in my article:Thoughts About Xbox 360 to One Backwards Compatibility , I was going to expand on that topic. Here is my first improvement, a dedicated page. Included is a table with the game name, developer, publisher, and guess at the % likelihood (99% – Lock, 1% – Snowball). Then as time goes on (if it happens), I would record that it was backwards compatible and the date it happened.
Update: July 21st, 2015 – All developer/publisher information is now filled in. I have added the ones already available in the Preview Program. Simply sort the list by BC, and there they are. Notice, they have a “Preview” in the date column because these games are only available to those in the Preview Program. I’ll update it with a real date once it becomes available to everybody.
Some Thoughts about Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility to the One
We will call this article a deviation of sorts. I am sure everybody has heard the news by now that Microsoft is implementing Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility into the Xbox One. And most people know that you can actually vote for which games get the go-ahead for implementation. I figured since I’m huge on this concept that we would make a fun chart of all the games I voted on and realistically judged based on public votes and what I know if it has a chance to get the golden ticket. Then, the great part is once a game actually gets “voted in” so to speak, we’ll update this column and see how good I am at predicting.
