Marathon: Halo’s grandaddy heading for XBLA?
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.
