Marathon: Durandal

17 Years have passed since an alien race known as the Pfhor attacked the Tau Ceti colony destroying it and damaging the U.E.S.C. Marathon. Now, you have been awakened from your long stasis by the computer A.I. Durandal to uncover the mysteries of an ancient alien race known as the S'pht. Transported to the surface of Lh'owon armed only with a pistol, it is up to you to save humanity from the Pfhor, as they relentlessly search for the coordinates of Earth!

Bungie Studio's 1995 groundbreaking first-person shooter is now available on Xbox Live Arcade for the very first time! The compelling storyline of Marathon: Durandal stands on its own but also offers a clear intimation of the compelling gameplay, characters, and stories to come in Bungie's Halo franchise. This remake of Marathon: Durandal boasts all-new high definition graphics and support for 720p widescreen displays. A deep single player game is enhanced with 8-player co-op, "King of the Hill", "Kill the Man with the Ball" and "Tag" Live modes. An all new "Survival Mode" adds a quick arcade experience to the classic game. Live Leaderboards and Achievements (including four secret Achievements) let you track your progress through the game.
