XBLA: Marathon Durandal

This game was only shown in a quick cut during the Microsoft press conference. Bungie has shed some light on their up coming Xbox Live Arcade title Marathon Durandal. Everyone’s favorite online personality now Bungie employee Luke Smith give us the rundown with some new screenies and a Q&A.

So what the heck is Marathon: Durandal? Well the odd thing is that Marathon: Durandal is actually a sequel, rather than the original game. It’s a 3D shooter, often compared with id’s masterpiece, Doom. That’s not exactly accurate. Both games feature wildly disparate pacing and feel. But yes, it’s an olde-worlde 3D shoot ‘em up with corridors and monsters. The reason we chose to port Durandal rather than the original, is that it’s the more accomplished and feature rich game, more modes of play and a better Campaign mode.

You can read the whole shebang on their site.
