This week's Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday sees the addition of two new games to the Arcade Hits program, which take top-selling Arcade titles and tries to squeeze some more sales out of them by slashing prices. This week's new additions include Assault Heroes, which is a damn fine shooter whether you play alone or with a friend, and DOOM, which is...well, DOOM. If I have to explain to you guys what DOOM is you might be at the wrong website. Might I suggest an alternative?

This week's Xbox Live Arcade releases include a racer born on the PSP and a hack and slash fantasy game with nods to Sega's arcade classic Altered Beast. Gripshift, from Sidhe Interactive, is a stunt racing-puzzle game, of sorts, featuring platforming mechanics combined with raw speed. It's joined by Arkadian Warriors, a hack and slash adventure from the team created last year's well received XBLA hit Assault Heroes. It's gimmick is that you and your co-op buddies can choose from one of three classes, each with it's own spirit animal. Both will hit this Wednesday, extremely early in the morning, for 800 Microsoft Points. Details on both are available at Xbox.com. More »
