: Halo is just an updated remake of Marathon for what was, at the time, the
: next generation. Everything in Marathon parallels something in Halo, it's
: just super good fun.
Marathon Infinity had a deep, non-linear story full of literary allusions; intricately designed, non-repetitive levels; a distinct lack of gimmicky vehicles or zombies; and you didn't navigate (if that's what you can call muddling through a console FPS) with a kludgy dual joystick that aimed for you while you sat on the couch. It's a comparison I would dispute even if Halo weren't popular--and it stings the most because the same company (ostensibly) made both, in the order they were made in.
Most good games are fun--that's their purpose. But the great ones are more than that.
