Marathon 2 on the XBox 360


Postmortem: Freeverse's Marathon 2: Durandal

In the golden days of the mid-90’s, there was only one word worth speaking about games on the Macintosh, and it was "Marathon". Practically everyone who worked extensively with Macs or in an environment with a good number of them on a network knew and loved the game -- a category which includes most Freeverse personnel. When we landed it, we were excited not just for the chance to revisit an old favorite, and not just to port it, but for the chance to truly bring it into the modern era.
How sad is it that this may be the most compelling reason for me to want an XBox 360?
