Marathon: Halo's grandaddy heading for XBLA? |
Ó
Before Halo, there was Marathon. For the guys a couple of exp points short in their PC-gaming lore, this game is among Bungie Software's more well-known titles, and was originally released for the Macintosh platform. Marathon puts players behind the controls of a superhuman cyborg (Master Chief, is that you?) as they fight for control of Marathon, a spaceship under the United Earth Space Council (UNSC) (UESC).
The game has become the target of today's bit of speculation, as word is out that the USK - Germany's answer to our own ESRB - has already rated Marathon: Durandal for the Xbox 360. This in turn means a possible release into Xbox Live Arcade, which further means that we might be getting a taste of this old FPS classic. Of course, we'll just have to wait for official word from either Microsoft or Bungie on this matter, although it'd make sense - things have been slowing down ever since Halo 3 beta's conclusion.

This will be on the second disc on the collector's edition of Halo 3. This is my opinion though, it could end up being DLC.
Bungie confirmed that the 2nd disc was just a mixup on MS' side, so it won't be in the Collector's Edition.
The mix up wasn't about a second disk in the collector's edition, it was about hope people though the single player mode and the multiplayer mode are on separate disks. This would be cool if its included in collector's edition. I've always wanted to play the marathon series ever since I've heard about them on a forum when I started playing Halo for the first time last year. It will make the extra$10 worth the price.
I have always loved Marathon, and this is great to see. Even though all three are free ware, I would still pay to play it on my 360 again! Also, interesting choice on which one to put on. You would think they would go with the first or the third instead of Durandal. (the second)
