Doom to hit XBOX Live

From the id software website:

Xbox Live Arcade unveiled today one of the greatest games of the 3-D era: "DOOM" is now available for download for 800 points. The game brings legendary "DOOM" mayhem to gamers, who for the first time ever can relive the classic demon-blasting fragfest in both single-player and two-to-four player co-operative and deathmatch modes over Xbox Live.

Originally released in 1993, DOOM introduced millions to the white-knuckle excitement of the First Person Shooter (FPS). Relive the classic demon-blasting action, now with up to four players over Xbox Live?, 5.1 Surround Sound, and smoother graphics.

You're a Marine stationed on Mars when a military experiment goes wrong. Your mission: Blast your way to freedom through the classic world of DOOM. Face off against Hell?s army, including stampeding demons, and lay waste to rooms of monsters with an arsenal of classic weapons. Take the deathmatch online via Xbox Live and battle your friends for dominance of the leaderboards.

* Gameplay: Experience all the classic DOOM levels, monsters, and weapons. Play the entire single-player game solo or in co-op mode via split screen or over Xbox Live.
* Multiplayer: Play up to four-player deathmatch, either in split-screen or on Xbox Live. Earn achievements and check the leaderboards for the high scores.
* Next-generation features: With 1080i HD support, 5.1 Surround Sound, and smooth textures, this is DOOM for the next generation.
