OK, so the titles a bit of a mouthful but it's a pretty amazing fact. According to Cheap Ass Gamer if you take the top 300 Xbox games on Metacritic, only 27% of them are backwards compatible, despite Microsoft's assurance that they are working towards 100% compatibility.

The handy graph also shows that 80% of the top 10 are backwards compatible, only Burnout 3 and Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 aren't on the list yet.

Come on Microsoft, Pull your finger out.
