I imagine we'll see more this coming weekend.

The IGN guy with the beard was sitting behind me for some of their testing.

He -yelped- once when he got jumped by a xeno.

Btw, just learned from Sega that IGN got the exclusive to release the review online this early, it's the only online review that will go live this week. The rest of online reviews will go live on Monday Jan 15th from 3 P.M. GMT+0.

Thats not a good thing.... it might be because they knew it was the highest score it was going to get ''online'' build the hype a bit more maybe... we'll see.

I think Gametrailers will hate it 7.5 tops.....!!

We'll see though!!

Not really, besides magazines are still releasing more reviews. Apparently Eurogamer will give the game a 9/10 so not the highest in the UK.

Dang really? Eurogamer is usually pretty tough when it comes to reviews.

My GF made fun of me when i played AVP2 for the same reason.

No doubt about that one. If your game gets a 9/10 from eurogamer..then you accomplished wonders. They give games that get great scores across the board some bad scores at times. They are stricter than @#% lol.

Nvm, I totally misread it sorry, it is NOT EUROGAMER who gave the 9/10. Not sure which media outlet is that one yet.

Thanks a bunch, Hicks!  C'mere and give me a kiss, you giant horrifying... Colonial Marine.

Thanks for the scans! I'll make a gallery on imageshack to have them in one link if you don't mind.

Ah yes, Mike Channell: "The Face & Voice of OXM". 

Out of the team, he tends to write the best reviews, though. So it should be a good read (even if there may be a large number of bad puns).

Runner Aliens. The Alien 3 variant. Only in the singleplayer campaign, though, not in the MP.
