    bs angel has played a lot of Halo matches on Xbox Live. And she’s heard a lot of comments in that time. Unfortunately… many of them are the same. Loved the sandwich comeback. (And extra points for the Mom joke.)(Louis Wu 17:18:42 UTC)

    No, I don’t mean an XBLA release of Marathon, as it seems that is not to be; but rather, what was thought to be a long-dormant project to make a total conversion of Marathon 1 for the Unreal Tournament engine– Marathon Resurrection– has finally be…
