Looks like XBLA will continue to pwn the crap out of VC, and PSN games.

That's a bold statement when you say XBLA is better then Nintendo's VC. Better then PSN yes but not better then VC games like Super Metroid,Castlevania 2,Punchout,Zelda:Ocarina of time,Mario 64,Starfox 64,Mario 3,F-Zero X,Bionic Commando and the list continues to expand each week.

Um, Super Metroid and Mario 3 are not out on the virtual console. Besides, you can only play the same game so many times.

XBLA pwn the crap out of VC?
a: What are you smoking?
b: Can I have some?
XBLA is great and all, but virtual console takes the prize for old school gaming.

I doubt they will, but I hope they give marathon 2 the enhanced textures pack.
Oh yeah, and keyboard+mouse support would be my personal requirement for a purchase. Otherwise, I'll stick to Aleph One for my Marathon-ing.

Sonic AND Golden Axe today? Freaking AWESOME!

Why Durandal. It makes no sense. Why not release the first one first. Or even better release 1,2 and 3 together in one package.
Maybe that's what they are doing but took the subtitle from two.
20 bucks Microsoft has Bungie take down the free download links to Marathon.

Hexic 2??? how the hell could they make a sequel to hexic? And who the hell is going to buy that? Hexic was one of the most boring games iv played in a long while

Ever heard of an "opinion"? I have logged countless hours into Hexic HD.
