    In most cases, yes, ash. There's a list of games supporting backwards compatibility on Microsoft's Xbox site (here), but it hasn't been updated since 2008. Also, be sure to read the fine print - if you're buying foreign games, they may not have been certified. They might still work, but it's just not guaranteed like the ones on the list are.
