Marathon Rubicon is a scenario for Marathon Infinity that is going to knock the socks off of every Mara-fan. It's been in the making for over four years now and its recently launched web site makes it look extremely promising.

Inside Mac Games got their hands on Scott Brown and Chris Lund of the Marathon Rubicon team and asked them some questions about the upcoming project. Here's a snip:

IMG: One of the defining aspects of Marathon (and indeed ALL of Bungie's games) is its stunning storyline - how does the Marathon : Rubicon storyline compare to those of the Marathon Trilogy, and who was responsible for it?

DSB: The basic ideas behind the story (who the major characters would be, that sort of thing) were discussed and developed by many different people on the team. Everyone had an idea to toss in, and it was my job in the end to separate the wheat from the chaff and weave an epic tale. Without giving too much detail away, Rubicon picks up where one of the timelines in the Marathon Trilogy left off, with the player under Durandal's supervision.
