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? For those of you still with us, the XBLA version of DOOM features four-player online multiplayer and looks pretty damn old. Both of these titles will be available Wednesday for 400 points apiece. Hit the jump for the full press release, which includes a look at some of the upcoming XBLA titles you'll eventually be able to buy at half price.

In case you weren't paying attention around the end of April, Sierra Online's Assault Heroes 2 is this week's Xbox Live Arcade release. The game picks up where the first left off, with our heroes realizing that the enemy the vanquished in their last adventure was merely a pawn of something much more sinister. The new game features enhanced foot combat complete with a dodge roll maneuver, the ability to hijack enemy vehicles (perhaps to ease you away from GTA for five minutes), and combat that takes you over land, sea, and eventually into the depths of space. Assault Heroes 2 hits the 800 MS point sweet spot and will be available early Wednesday morning.
