Eagle-eyed fanboy MageGriff noticed that on the XBLM, under the Xbox Originals section, are three newly new game additions that are "greyed out". The three new Xbox Original games (all of which do not include Conker or Jade Empire) have a release date set for February 11th and include (trumpets please) Ninja Gaiden Black, Side Meier's Pirates! and the shoot-fest that is BLACK. Again, these three new Xbox Originals are not available for download or purchase until the 11th, but are pretty much a release guarantee seeing that they're currently viewable on the Marketplace. Anyone up for some 1200 Microsoft point Ninja Gaiden?[Thanks, MageGriff]

I am tempted, it's just those lack of achievements....
I can remember the good old days when I used to play games for fun!!
Damn you Achievement Points! And damn you Gamerscore!

I was planning to get Black when it came out, but it was for Xbox, so I didn't bother because I got a 360. I regret that I didn't, and would probably download it, but I don't have enough HDD to download it, so I might look for a pre-owned, that is if it is BC via retail disc.

I bought Ninja Gaiden Black before I got my 360, but I always wanted Black. I can't decide whether or not to try out the Xbox Originals or find it used. Also, I'm so busy playing COD4 I don't want to play anything else!

Pirates is awesome, but I found the PC version to be far superior.

If I didn't already own those games... and if they were cheaper... (you can get all of those games for under $10 each on disc...) I'd bite! ;)

worse? i thought it worked fine. whenever i couldn't see my attacker i'd switch positions. the game forced you to be as defensive as much as offensive. i personally thought the camera was great, it felt like i was in the midst of a fight.

Ninja Gaidan Black sounds like the pick of that. Plus I've seen it used for around 30 bucks.

I've heard rumors that the three GTA titles will be out in the next coming months. You'd think it'd be before 4/29 to coincide with the GTA IV release, just like with Burnout. If it does happen, those might be my first XBO purchases.

Who ever said you can get disc copies of these games for under $10 hasn't actually checked. Ninja Gaiden is $9.99 used at Game Stop, but Ninja Gaiden Black is $24.99 used. Black is $17.99 used, and Pirates! is $19.99 used.
Makes 1200MP look like a pretty good deal.
