Screenshots from Freeverse's Marathon: Durandal Port

On July 10, 2007, during the Microsoft Press Conference for E3 2007, it was announced that Freeverse was working on Marathon: Durandal for Xbox Live Arcade, fulfilling the dreams of countless Marathon-turned-Halo fans. Release is scheduled for later this summer, and you can read official information on Xbox.com, but we've got a little bit of exclusive info for you, and we've got 50 screenshots of the game to peruse. Marathon is absolutely the spiritual forbear to Halo - and so this absolutely belongs here on HBO. Here's a tidbit from the developers:

In Marathon: Durandal for Xbox Live Arcade, we added something we call "Survival mode", wherein we drop you into a level and assault you with wave after wave of really pissed-off Pfhor and S'pht. You know that dream, the one where you open your eyes and suddenly you realize that you're in a fire ant hive with a pair of shotguns and enough ammo to make John Rambo look like a gun control lobbyist? Wait, you don't have that dream? Anyway, that's what Survival is like. We even built four brand-new levels just for the mode, and we've tied it into the Xbox Live leaderboard system so you can show your friend Timmy just how much you rocked his best score.

All that - and it runs at 60 fps. w00t!
