The Xbox Backwards Compatibility library just recently added four games to its roster last week with "Jurassic Park: The Game," "Battlestation: Midway," "Dragon's Lair," and "Tour de France 2011." Three more games have just been added to the library, and rumors are also saying that "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" could be coming soon.

According to Express.co.uk, the new titles added are "Silent Hill: Downpour," "Puzzle Quest," and "Eat Lead." Fan reception of the games has been positive so far. "Silent Hill" had gotten the most votes at 6000; "Puzzle Quest" has about 2000 votes; but "Eat Lead" only got away with less than 500 — it's still better numbers than "Tour de France 2011" which got no votes at all.

Xbox head-honcho Phil Spencer also gave an update on what fans can expect soon, and he revealed that they may be getting "Black Ops 2" down the line. The game was actually listed on the lineup for Deals with Gold, but it was removed shortly afterwards, explaining that it was just a mistake.

Gamers, no less, have been speculating, and there has been renewed interest in "Black Ops 2."

When a fan asked about the Xbox and the Backwards Compatibility library, Spencer said via Twitter, "I like the progress on BC... We'd like to have all and work on 3P [third-party] games is always a partnership with publisher."

Though no official date for the availability of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" has been announced, fans can be assured that it's coming soon.

As for Xbox Games with Gold, reports are saying that "The Escapists" is now available for Xbox One members for free. Xbox 360 owners can play "I am Alive" while owners who have already upgraded to the Xbox One can still play "I am Alive" via the Backwards Compatibility Library.
