Not that I would ever do that now if I played M2 over a 360
Uh huh...
Anyway I mostly meant co-op CAMPAIGN, silly goose. 
Multiplayer comes later. Should we wait 'til next year for BigSmall?

Oh, and just One More Thing™...
The Non Technical:
We had to look at this project from worst-case scenario: We only get to bring one of the 3 games to Xbox Live Arcade. With that in mind we had to say, which is the most appropriate? We universally agreed that Marathon 2 was the best. It had the richest story and environment of the 3, and it was more mainstream and traditional than Marathon Infinity. It was the right fit.
Liquids, Marathon 2 supports liquids, which add depth.
Dual Shotguns, quite possibly the best weapon ever created.
Thunderdome, one of the best multiplayer maps out there, Halo fans might remember it as Foundation.
Durandal, as a character he is very cool and his story is quite fun.
Robert Blake was played by none other than Jason Jones, we just had to get his smiling face on Xbox Live Arcade.

Driving Under the Influence of Awesome
Um. The dudes at WETA made a Warthog. I don’t mean that they made a big plastic thing that looks like a Warthog. I mean they built a fully-functioning, four-wheel steering, powerful, off-road vehicle with a machine gun on the back. At the correct scale. If you live near Wellington, New Zealand, you might even see some crazy machine-shop dude from WETA fishtailing around your base, ahem, I mean neighborhood.
What’s it for? Well, a couple of things – one of which will be one of the shorts coming from director Neill Blomkamp. We sort of blindsided you guys with the first short (Arms Race) – it had little to no context or explanation, but when you see it as it was originally intended – as part of an overall narrative, you might just pee your pants. And if you don’t, then the picture below will certainly cause some leakage.
Goddamn. It’s a Warthog.

Bruce Morrison Discusses Bringing Marathon To XBox Live
6:00 AM | Cord Kruse
Blake Buck, producer and co-host of the Best Damn Podcast Ever, recently informed us that the latest BDPE podcast features an interview with Freeverse's Bruce Morrison about his work bringing Marathon Durandal to Xbox Live Arcade. The interview also covers Morrison's thoughts on the present and future of Mac gaming.
The BDPE Crew interviews Bruce Morrison of Freeverse Software - lead producer on Marathon Durandal for the Xbox Live Arcade. We ask the questions on everyone's mind and learn of the project's World of Warcraft origins, the process of a small mac developer working with a huge IP, some of the technical and organizational challenges that had to be overcome, and some sort of terrifying song about the death of Mac gaming...
Head over to the site below to listen to the podcast.
