10 Classic Xbox 360 Games You Can Play Soon On Xbox One

6. Super Meat Boy

Nestled snugly amidst some of the last generation's AAA titles in the reverse compatibility list is this cult indie platformer. The game sees you guide the eponymous Meat Boy €“ essentially the off-the-rails twin brother of Mr. Strong from Mr. Men €“ through a series of fast-paced levels filled with spinning saws, odd blobby creatures and other obstacles whose only purpose is to deconstruct you into meat puree. Life is utterly expendable in Super Meat Boy, as the zippy respawn system means that you'll blissfully have Meat Boy splattering himself all over the screen as you launch yourself into levels repeatedly without much care for the consequences. With that said, the game gets fiendishly difficult, and eventually reaches a point where you'll be hunched forward and slack-jawed in raw concentration as you try to complete the seemingly impossible challenges of the alternate Dark World levels. No game will train and challenge your finger dexterity quite like Super Meat Boy.
