Aliens: Colonial Marines "Contact" Trailer: Delay of "Game Over, Man, Game Over!"

Yeah, yeah - the game has been delayed until this fall, but that's OK in my book. As long as what's coming is the best Aliens game to date on a console, I'll wait patiently. My Atari Jaguar is dead, so no AvP for me. I never got a review copy of Aliens: Infestation (but it's on my buy list as soon as I've got some extra cash to spend) and I've played all three campaigns in the PS3 game to death. Still, I'm not stressing out over the lack of a new game... really. Especially with PROMETHEUS on the way in theaters to keep my brain swirling for a few months afterward.

Aliens: Colonial Marines Gameplay Footage

Sega has released a very cool E3 demo gameplay video from Gearbox Software's upcoming PS3/Xbox 360 and PC shooter. The game is certainly looking tight so far, combining scripted moments with plenty of combat and appropriately scary moments. Of course, there are plenty of fans of who are probably benchmarking those older PC Aliens games by Rebellion and tossing mighty suggestions to Sega and Gearbox to copy those classics exactly. I say let the developer do their thing so they can surprise those expecting them to simply template stuff just because a few too many diehards aren't willing to accept a new take on their favorite game. Yeah, yeah - that's why I don't make games, being stubborn and wanting to go my own way and all. But hey, I trust the guys at Gearbox completely. We'll see what happens and hope Sega drops into NYC so I can get some hands-on time...
