Following hand in hand with Xbox Live coming back online are two new (and previously promised) Xbox Originals titles to the Xbox Live Marketplace. Both the 5.39GB Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and 1.61GB Metal Arms: Glitch in the System are now available for 1200 Microsoft points each to all Xbox Live regions except folks in Japan. And because it's an icky Monday and we're feeling crabby, we have to mention that that these and all Xbox Originals titles do not feature any achievements OR come with paper manuals. We know how infuriated some fanboys get without their paper manuals.Splinter Cell and Metal Arms become Xbox Originals

Chaos Theory was my favorite, and the multiplayer was awesome. So much better than DA.
Also, are there other types of manuals besides ones made out of paper? Stone manuals?

Chaos Theory is the best in the series IMO.
I'd pick this up IF I had enough hard drive space left.

You need achievements to justify buying a game? What a moron.

It's worth it to have it as a download rather than a disc...it's nice to have the portability of having all the games you own, instead of a new disc for every game. I hope XBOX 720 is all DLC for all games.
I wish my Elite had an even bigger harddrive...the next system should have like a terrabyte of storage, and the whole xbox and 360 game catalogue should be available for DLC on Day one. Also all games will be downloadable, and it wont have a DVD drive of any sort. I would like that. Also built in wi-fi...the only plugs on that thing should be HDMI and POWER. Done.

Chaos Theory was the best in the series. The online co-op is what real co-op is about, ie. you can't complete the level without genuine co-operation, and it is genuinely amazing fun distracting some guard while your buddy nips out behind him for a kidney shot.
The versus multiplayer is also excellent, 3rd person spies versus 1st person mercenaries with tonnes of gadgets.
Seriously, give it a shot.

This Download has all the same bugs and problems that the original XBOX game had while playing on the 360.
No widescreen, no camo (outlined in green), No 360 Dash Board, Terrible Lobby System, Few Players and the ones there are playing Deathmatch.
I got this download thinking they cleaned up some of these issues. I loved the Spy Vs Merc Multiplayer Game and was so excited to download this only to be disappointed.
If you are thinking what I thought do Not buy this download, just go buy the regular game for $5.00 at Gamestop or something.

...because Starbreeze are remaking it for the 360.
Pick the original up dirt cheap, or make you pay full price for the remake with a few extras. We all know what Microsoft would choose!
