Before there was Halo, Bungie created Marathon for Macs. On August 1^st the second game in the series, Marathon: Durandal is coming to Xbox Live Arcade with a few improvements. Namely, upgraded graphics, four player split-screen and eight player online multiplayer. It’s something Halo fans probably want to pick up for 800 Microsoft Points ($10) to fill their Bungie fix until September.
