Marathon Will Live Arcade, Halo 2 Won’t Live Anywhere
Although we suspect the rather ho-hum news that Halo 2 will not be playable through Live Anywhere will strike people as more interesting, we can't help but get a little fist-pumping psyched over the hint that Bungie's proto-Halo, Marathon, is seriously being considered for XBox Live Arcade. Many a day we played that game on the ancient Macs in high school computer lab. Doom was better, but hey... we'll take what we can get.
As for the lack of Live Arcade in Halo 2 for the PC: Microsoft, if you're going to forge gamers to upgrade to Vista to play your three year old game with a mouse and keyboard, why not go the whole hog and use this as an opportunity to seriously push Live Anywhere?
