#0002 - Marathon: Dramamine

meager on Aug. 21, 2007

This episode is inspired by
Marathon: Durandal
Available on the Xbox Live Arcade
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8 Marathon: Durandal looks like the original Doom, but plays more like a RPG dungeon cralwer… you're often looking around for items then backtracking to unlock further areas, all while blasting baddies.
Controls are responsive and the camera works well, but it's hard to get past the aged look.
If you didn't play and like it when it originally came out, you probably won't care for it.
This one is recommended only for nostalgia buffs; those curious to see the shaky history of video games and how far we've come.




Lizzy Says:
It's not that I dislike wandering aimlessly in dungeons with dizzying wall textures, it's just that I don't love it.
I'm much rather just get on the P-A system, insult the monster's families, and let them know where they can come get me.
It'd be sooo much more efficient.



Clyde Says:
Where do you carry all this ammo?
More importantly, why doesn't Pac-Man get sick from eating so much while on the run?
Pac-Man needs to take more naps.
