Ninja Gaiden black is the best action game ever made. I expect Ninja Gaiden 2 to be GOTY...

I've not played Black or Pirates, so these might be my first foray into the world of "Xbox Originals". Catchy name, that.

Excelent. How long has Black been BC for?

Anyone know how well Ninja Gaiden plays on the 360 ?

Hopefully they'll put Outrun 2006 up also.

It worked well for me. Didn't play it for too long, but had no problems with it.

It's fine, but the left/right camera control is still backwards.

For me this breaks the game as it's so difficult and demanding.

The next worst issue is that you lose your saved games and have to start again!!!

Hmm £10 sounds pretty dear to me - pick most of these up pre-owned for half the price.

@ Bozman,

If you can find NGB for under a tenner anywhere then you have done well!! I've been looking around for it for a while! A copy on ebay went for £15+pp just the other day. Glad I stopped bidding at a tenner :)

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that VGA is not supported on XO's

The game developer would get zero from such a transaction though. £10 is a bargain for most of these games. Plus the convenience of having them sat on your hard drive ready to go is not to be underestimated.

NG, awesome, but with my 20Gb harddrive I'll probably wait for 2.

I would like some Orta though, since the emulation on the dvd is fucked.

The trouble is the convenience of having all your hard drive space taken up by one game, leaving the xbox unable to anyhting else is less appreciated... I know there's a bigger hard drive out there, but its too expensive, so can't justify keeping my hard drive virtually unusable until I complete the xbox 1 game. Anyone else found that the hard drive space appears to 'creep' smaller and smaller? I cleared everything that I was able to the other day (every single thing from the delete menu, barring a couple of downloadable content things) and still only had 8Gb left... Starting to see the benefit of the PS3's easily swappable hard drives now...

The 120Gb hard drive was £80 on Amazon the other day and you could sell your 20Gb for about £35 profit on Ebay meaning a total outlay of £45. That's what I've done anyway...

I've always wondered how long on average the originals take to download... I know line speed and size of the download will affect, with most games clocking over 3Gb, so I'm guessing it might take all day.

Just leave the download going overnight - should get the best speed then also.

Ninja Gaiden black is still 20 quid second hand on Amazon and play.com. So I will be downloading it for a tenner instead. Sold my copy about a year ago, dumbest thing I ever did.

@ groovychainsaw:

You want to try clearing your cache, mate. Go into the options by pressing Y on the HDD icon then press X,X,LB,RB,X,X I think

Anyways I'd actually quite like to try all three of these. I've still got the original ninja gaiden disc but is black better enough to warrant expense of a tenner?

Call me a geek, but I really dislike the ulgy logo that gets printed in one's games list after we play an Original. It wasn't like that before Fall's update.

SlackMaster: I've been able to download them within 4-6 hours, and my connecton isn't very fast.

Whats gonna happen to all these gigabytes of downloaded games and all the other stuff when MS bring out the successor to the 360?.

I cant see an easy way of transferring 20GB+ onto a new consoles HD, (assuming it has one, Flash drives anyone?.)

Actually come to think of it, i cant see the 360's successor being BC anyway...

I transfered my 18gb of data from an older Premium to an Elite, pretty fast with the transfer kit.

I tried Ninja Gaiden Black on my 360 a year or so ago and it lagged like piss. Hopefully they've sorted that out.

Anyway, I suggest anyone who appreciates challenging and skill-reliant gaming to get NG: Black simply because I expect Ninja Gaiden 2 will be nerfed, and so the great experiences of NG: Black will never surface again.

WoW I am happy to see all three titles.

Think I will buy NG Black and Pirates. Now hows about bunging some achievement points in to add spice?

And put me down for Outrun 2006 and Conker, and Project Zero when you get around to it MS.

i already own Ninja Gaiden Black but will be buying it yet again on this. i love digital distribution and the game is absolutely brilliant. The people who had tried it using BC but found it laggy should rest assured that thankfully it was fixed some time ago and runs fine now, only problem is the FMV cutscenes run at 30 fps.

£80 for a 120gb hard drive is still robbery... Can get stadnard 500Gb hard drive for less than that!

Anyway, where the hell is RSC2?? Get it sorted MS

Yes but selling your old 20GB 'daylight robbery' hard drive offsets the cost of the 120GB. Also remember it's actually a laptop hard drive which are more expensive than PC ones and that you get a transfer cable and software with it for getting files from your old 20GB hard drive.

I'm hugely interested in NGB. I loved the original version, yet missed out when Black came out. I'd be well prepared to pay a tenner for it.

But 6 gigs? My 20gig (or rather, 12 gig) says no way though.
