Welcome to Friday! It's time for another Pick One, but this time, given all the talk surrounding Xbox Series X backwards compatibility earlier this week, we thought we'd stay on topic.
So, let's say Microsoft has trusted you with picking the next original Xbox game to be added to backwards compatibility. They're all great titles, but here's the catch - you can only pick one!
Let's take a look at what we're working with:
Blur (2010)
What do you get when you cross a Project Gotham-like arcade racer with Mario Kart? You get Blur! This fantastic racing game was released back in 2010 for the Xbox 360, and has very much become a cult classic. However, it's yet to arrive on Xbox One via backwards compatibility.
Max Payne 3 (2012)
Rockstar Games' third entry in the Max Payne series drew critical acclaim following its release back in 2012, but unfortunately has never been made backwards compatible on Xbox One. There are many Max Payne fans that would love to see this one made playable on Xbox Series X.
Eternal Sonata (2007)
Japanese RPG Eternal Sonata came to the Xbox 360 in 2007, and was praised for its superb visuals, engrossing story, fantastic soundtrack and much more. It's been almost fifteen years since it first released, so we'd love to see it get the backwards compatible treatment in the future.
Let us know which of these games you'd remaster in the poll, and explain why in the comments below.

Definitely Max Payne, Great game..
I actually haven’t played any of these although I’ve got Max Payne and Eternal Sonata on the 360. I’d have to vote for Max Payne simply because I played a bit of the first one years ago and kind of enjoyed it. Would still like the other two to be added to the backwards compatible list as well.
Further to that, I was gutted that Mortal Kombat 9 never made the list previously so that is the top of my own personal list.
Eternal Sonata seems really an hidden gem, it would be cool to play it today!
Blur gets my vote. Very underated game!
Definitely Blur. One of my favourite last-gen racers for sure.
Blur for me also...
I actually came across my copy of Blur the other day. I thought to myself “ this was a good game, wouldn’t mind playing it again”, however after looking at the BC list I realised it wasn’t on there ☹️ I mean it’s good, but not “dig out my 360 and connect it all up” good! Needless to say, I voted for Blur.
You evil people! Why make me choose between the games that I want most on the backwards compatibility. Max Payne 3 one day, then I want to play Blur again...
Genuinely the reason my Xbox 360 is always ready to be used (it's unplugged, but still unboxed)
Easily Max Payne 3 - great game!!!
Eternal Sonata :3
Eternal Sonata, of course. I long to revisit Agogo Forest in all its 4K and HDR enabled splendor! 😍
Max Payne 3 for me.
Max Payne 3 gets my vote, but Blur deserves the BC treatment too.
While Eternal Sonata looks like a great choice, I went with Max Payne 3.
Eternal Sonata!!!
we already have enough racing and shooting games.
Had to go with Blur. Honestly I thought it was BC already.
of course Max Payne. still 4k to add it would be super.
in my opinion this is one of the best third-person shooters with excellent shooting mechanics. motion capture is great, you get real pleasure from the realism of each character movement
Eternal Sonata for me ...
Max Payne for me. Missed it Since I sold my 360. Great action game and story. Maybe release it on Xbox series X with shorter loading times?
Eternal Sonata was just an amazing game. Like a water painting come to life. I had so much fun playing it. I just wished i even knew where my copy was. Id by that game in a heartbeat off any of the stores.
Eternal Sonata. I know ps3 got the enhanced version but I loved that game so much and would love to play it again.
