Default Marathon 2 on XBLA!

Anyone who remembers the Marathon shooter series on the Mac from the 1990s should check out the free trial of Marathon 2: Durandal on XBLA. The excellent port brings back some fond memories of one of my all-time favorite shooters. But some users on other boards are reporting having motion sickness while playing, so have your Dramamine handy!

The cake is NOT a lie!

I remember the original Marathon; I'm a big Mac fan.

Wow...I totally forgot about this game.

Thanks for sharing: this is great!

Hmm, didn't Bungie do the Marathon games?

Personal opinions are endorsed by me.

You only downloaded the trial? No-wonder no-one is ever online when I want to have a multiplayer match. They are all freeloaders getting the trial instead of the full game.

Seriously though, it is awesome. Too bad I never tried the original on MAC. Maily because I have never owned a MAC in my life.

My downloading time has been taken up with the Stranglehold and Bioshock demos recently, but I plan to get the full version of Marathon eventually; when I do I'll be happy to take you on!

It's great, just bought it. Spilt Screen is the most memorable mp type, we were beating each other down =] I played this on a Windows port before.
