Backwards compatibility has been a bit slow to encompass some of the bigger titles in the Xbox 360 library. However, recently games like XCOM: Enemy Within, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed were made available, so progress has been at least steady. That said, there are still some big games that have remained at the top of the vote, like Red Dead: Redemption and Skyrim (probably not happening) that fans have fervently asked for.
