Following Monday's revelation of a May 26 release for the downloadable Xbox 360 edition of DOOM II, Nerve Software's enhanced port of id Software's classic first-person shooter sequel is now available through Xbox Live at 800 Microsoft Points / $10.

On top of the content found in the original release of DOOM II for PC, the 35MB download includes a "never-before-seen bonus chapter" dubbed "No Rest for the Living" that was crafted by Nerve Software, plus online and offline competitive and co-op multiplayer.

As with all Live Arcade games, a free demo is available. In addition to the full game, those that purchase DOOM II on Xbox 360 will also be able to unlock an "old-school DOOM II T-Shirt" and "full-body DOOM Marine uniform" for their Xbox Live Avatar.

I really hope everyone enjoys playing this as much as I did working on it. I am an old school doomer, made many levels way back in the day. (Sadly never released) So it was an awesome experience to work on a new episode and apply modern design philosophies and really polish these maps. Something I always wanted to do since I was a teenager more than a decade ago.

Really looking forward to seeing what people have to say about the new Episode.

PS: The reason why the new episode is 9 levels long is, in a way, to show homage to the first episode of doom 1 which to this day I still remember being one of my favorite experiences ever in a first person shooter.

GREED knows no bounds. If DOOM3 were 10 dollars THAT would be fair.

  Define "fair" in this case. How is $10 too much? : -efx-
  - So i guess you think Crusin' USA is worth 10 dollars? Because that game was release in 1994 too. : surisis

$10 seems a bit much for a game that's over 15 years old.

I know you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth or whatever it is,.. but why on earth did this take so freakin long? Seriously. The engines are basically identical except for the WAD file, even if they were milking sales they could have still released this over a year ago easily.

I'm slowly making my way through the first one. I play a level here and there. More then half-way through episode 3 now.

Might pick this up when I finish with the first one. :)
