Ok, so I just finished ripping Bungie a new one for coming out with what I would consider to be an inferior product.  THIS, however, this makes me one happy boy.  As stated previously, I am a Bungie fan from WAY back in the day.  The fact that Durandal is coming out on the XBox Live Arcade excites me in ways I’m not entirely comfortable sharing.  This is arguably the best of the Marathon series and I remember playing deathmatch of AppleTalk (a Mac version of networking) and have an absolute blast.  If you look at this game and compare it to Doom, well…there just is no comparison.

Bungie had the audacity to take the formula of a shooter and not only put in interactive water elements, they even had to dealing with an insane computer program and give you an actual storyline.  This game is genius and really shows why Bungie was put on the map.  I’ll be picking this one up for sure, especially at a measly $10 price point.
