Microsoft has rebranded its Xbox Originals service on Xbox.com.

All the Original titles currently on offer for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace are now featured as part of the new Games on Demand service.

Microsoft said at E3 that it will launch a games-on-demand service for older Xbox 360 titles, including BioShock, Assassin’s Creed, Crackdown, LEGO Star Wars and Sonic the Hedgehog.

According to this IGN report, Microsoft has “finished it’s portfolio” of Xbox Originals and will stop the Live feature after the next, unannounced release.

GSBlog announced last night that Terminal Reality’s BlowOut will be the next Xbox Originals game.

A quick perusal of the comments section reveals that many people were none too impressed with this choice:

• “F*ck off with the sh*t we’ve never heard of. Get some half decent games on there already.”
• “When the f*ck did this come out. How about KOTOR either of them, or any other of the top selling title from the original Xbox. What is Microsoft paying you people for.”
• “Ugh, I wish I could remember the right command. > kill proc PR_Bot.”

BlowOut will cost you 1200 MS Points.

Thanks, Joystiq.
