We've just uploaded the review for Dark Horse's latest Aliens novel, Criminal Enterprise:
"I'm not saying that the characters are boring by any means. Merely that they are very unlikeable. Quite a few of the characters have a very complex and very sordid past. They're well fleshed out, all their motivations well explained and written. The story itself is very straight ... [Read More]
Following behind AvPvU, another marketing game for the upcoming DVD release of AvP Requiem is now out, this one called Combat Evolved:
It's in the same sort of vein as some King Kong games where you destroy buildings and eat people. It reminded me of the War of the Worlds game for the mobile. Quite entertaining actually, I'm embarrassed to say ... [Read More]
Another review is out for AvP Requiem, this time it's from IGN for the Blu-Ray release. They gave it 7/10 but the reviewer mentions the Unrated version is no different to the Theatrical version. A slight exaggeration perhaps.

Another review of the AvP Requiem Unrated DVD can be found over on Arrow in the Head. They give the DVD 2.5/5 but the major point here is how many times the reviewer mentioned how dark the movie is.

As well as that the profile page for Predator ...[Read More]
The first review of AvP Requiem DVD can be found over on DVDTalk. They reviewed the R1 Unrated edition. They're generally negative about the movie of course and that the Unrated cut doesn't really add anything interesting.

There's a new ten-page article about Aliens: CM in the Official Playstation Magazine. Here's the scans. There's no new screenshots apart from new renders of the Dropship, Pulse Rifle and APC. The article isn't as spoilerific as the GI article but there's a few new details.
They mention one of the missions - Sweep and Clear - where you ... [Read More]
So, the Brothers Strause had always talked about doing another one but they've since vanished from regularly appearing here. Well, according to Shock Till You Drop, there's another one coming:

There's a new interview with Randy Pitchford who is the president of Gearbox. Gamereactor Sweden interviewed him at GDC 2008 where he talks about the upcoming games Brothers in Arms and Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Nothing frightfully new, I'm afraid. Just that they're making the game and he talks about the game engine a little. Thanks to Redken for ... [Read More]
