It's a solid collection of games, and all three of them - Ninja Gaiden Black, Pirates!, and Black - are set to hit the Xbox Live store on February 11.

Pirates! is a 2004 re-make of Sid Meier's original 1987 adventure game on the PC, which sees players taking on the role of... no surprises here... pirates in the Spanish Main.

Black was Criterion's welcome departures from the Burnout series, an adrenaline-fueled last-gen FPS with destructible environments which is still more impression than many modern titles in the same genre... and damn hard to boot.

Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden Black was an expanded version of the original Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox, feature numerous extra content, the funniest of which was an "easy" mode. Fans of the game will understand the irony behind the inclusion of this.

Check out Xbox Live next Monday if you have any interest in picking up any of these classic titles.
