New Xbox Originals now available

Microsoft have added three new titltes to their selection of "Xbox Originals" which are available to download on the Xbox Live Marketplace. As well as the likes of Halo and Pyschonauts, you can now also grab EA/Criterion's Black, Microsoft/Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden Black, and 2K Games/Firaxis Games' Sid Meier's Pirates!. All three first Xbox games are available for 1200 Microsoft Points, or £10.80, and come as they were on the retail disc - so no extras like Achievements have been added, but full Xbox Live support is included if the game originally featured it.

All three are rather good - as our PS2 review of Black will attest to - but you may still be better off finding the discs cheaper second hand. If you can, that is.
