Another Live Arcade twofer is planned for this Wednesday with the release of Marathon: Durandal (800 MP) and Spyglass Board Games (400 MP). You guys have been asking for these titles for way too long, so be happy!
The second game in the popular Marathon trilogy is getting an update and a new name for its Xbox 360 debut; Marathon: Durandal will feature the following:
• Upgraded visuals: All images in the game have been redrawn in high definition.
• Modern networking: Marathon: Durandal features a new modern networking layer built with Xbox LIVE in mind.
• Superior control: The redesigned controls take full advantage of the Xbox 360 Controller and enhance playing a first-person shooter on a home console.
