Three new games are now yours for the taking on Xbox Live Arcade - id Software's inimicable DOOM, chic Burton-flavoured platformer Scarygirl and Kinect-powered ghostbusting exercise Haunt.
Haunt and Scarygirl are worth 800 MP, and DOOM - released late last year, then pulled over expired publishing rights - will be available for a laughable 400 MP. Looks like somebody was listening when Mike had that moan about Xbox Live Arcade prices. See man - you do matter.
I'm interested to play Haunt, following abysmal survival horror rip-off Amy. Can Kinect give the genre the oomph it needs to succeed on Live Arcade? Imagine, if you will, flinching from a ghost by actually flinching back. Game on, Silent Hill.

The new marketplace is broken. I really don't like the update. I have tried to get used to it, like every previous one, the changes always take some getting used to but this one sucks big time.

Doom was taken off because of licence problems and this is being rereleased, so you're both right.
