Aeropause's Doom Co-Op Videos

James over at Aeropause has posted up some of his impressions of Doom co-op over Live Arcade. Not only that, he's posted up a few videos of Doom being played over Xbox Live.

If you've seen Doom before, there's nothing new here, but watching someone play co-op again is rather infectious. I have to admit, I find it rather disappointing that it's simply a straight port. In particular, that box surrounding the playing screen is extremely ugly. I still play Doom regularly, and I'm excited about online co-op, but it's hard to play this...

Shaolin Monks next please

vTuro247h ago

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

vTuro247h ago

That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.

The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8

Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.

I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price

Burnout 3 not available in modern times is a crime to humanity.

I know it’s probably due to the music licensing-though they can simply add other music as Burnout 3’s biggest flaw to me personally-is the music!!!

Burnout 3, Risk Factions... I would kill for either of those

Xbox gamers warned they've 72 hours before a ton of classic games are gone forever

The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.

The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.

Phil Spencer: "Game preservation is critical to us at Team Xbox."

Technically, the games ARE preserved... they are just removing the ability to purchase new games through the 360. They have to keep a full backup of every title (even delisted ones) because they will have to offer the ability to redownload purchased content to users.

I had deleted some games a few years back that had become delisted. I was able to get them back by going through my download history. The games in question were TMNT (classic and re-shelled), afterburner climax and outrun online. Im glad I was able to get those back as they are some of the best on the service.

Well The Ultimate Alliance games have been delisted. I dunno how many old Activision games have been Delisted but MS needs to remake or remaster old Activision games and release them on Xbox and PS. I. Hope that's what they're doing right now.

They can't reserve everything but they 100% can reserve what they got or own.

Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.

hiawa2310h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.

anast8h ago

They are holding games hostage so people spend more money. This is some sleazy stuff.

Reaper22_7h ago

No, not telling you would be sleazy. I have a few more games to buy then I'm good. 360 was and still is a great console. Xbox is the best place to play!

anast6h ago

I'm not sure we are on the same page.
