And on that, a blog about what so many Aliens games get wrong.

It mirrors me and my brother's thoughts on why the marines in AvP's species deathmatch mode was shockingly fun. The other two races are far and away better than you from a gameplay perspective. All you have is a motion tracker and some source accurate firearms. But it was terrifying in the best way imaginable. The Horde Mode in AvP, which was the marines' exclusive mode, was spot on. All it was ape the trend seen in other shooters, but it was so right in an Aliens game. Like 'take Assassins Creed predatory stealth gameplay and apply to Batman' right.

But alas, we have an Aliens game that doesn't hold up to the games the brand helped spawn. Like the tragic poetry of a bad Starship Troopers game.

They've had several intermediary games, including the Shadows of the Empire spinoffs that go way the fuck back. They had spinoff material in the Rogue Squadron series (though it itself wasn't' a spinoff game series per se). I'm sure I'm missing a big one here.

Video does a good job comparing and contrasting the vast differences between the demo and the finished product.

It's a disappointment for me, as I'm a big Alien fan - I wasn't getting my hopes up considering the developmental nightmare this title suffered, but it's still a shame so much potential was wasted.

Christ, that 3DS Direct has to talk about already announced games, surely. That thing is in constant beast mode for Japan this year. Animal Crossing and Dragon Quest have already bumped the 3DS to above 10 million units over there and they've still got Monster Hunter 4 and Pokemon to come out over there.

hope they announce a localisation of Monster Hunter 4, but I'm not holding my breath.

Some odd things have been coming up in the Steam database recently, like a few older games that never received PC ports as well as some that are just unexpected. For me, the biggest surprises were:

Halo's 1-3
KOF XIII, 2002 and 98
Brutal Legend

Some things have been happening since then and now, Brutal Legend is on the Steam store: http://store.steampowered.com/app/22..._7_7_204_150_3

MS also announced that Halo 2's multiplayer support would be terminated on PC shortly before this was discovered. Now there's been a u-turn and they've said that Halo 2 will continue support until June 2013 while "other support options are investigated".

Think I'd pick up the Halo trilogy. Think I'd have a lot more fun with a mouse and keyboard. not only that, but Halo 3's forge mode with a mouse would be a godsend.

I think you've got no chance of either console being BC with the massive change in architecture unless they throw additional expensive hardware in.

The best you could hope for is that Sony uses their patent for plugging in an adaptor with some PS3 hardware in it to get some BC working on the PS4 at an additional cost.

Announced a new Mario & Luigi RPG. Coming out in Summer in the west. Set in Luigis dreams.

Honest to fucking god this machine is on a roll.



Donkey Kong Returns 3D port is less hype-worthy, but still nice, also Summer 2013 along with a new 3DS Mario Golf.

It's apparantly a full length DLC so it's not just a couple of levels slightly rejigged and sold for £15.

Thumbs up

Yeah, it showed a shot of a whole new overworld. I hope it's a little harder like some of the NSMB2 DLC apparently is. I've 100%'d the original game.

Also, Nintendo announced another 3DS Direct for next week concentrating on 3rd party Japanese games.

It's a disappointment for me, as I'm a big Alien fan - I wasn't getting my hopes up considering the developmental nightmare this title suffered, but it's still a shame so much potential was wasted.
Jim Sterling (Destructoid, Youtube, the Escapist) did a video talking about the differences, but holy shiiiiit.

I don't think it'd be even remotely smart for them to go without BC early in the hardware cycle. I could see them pulling a Sony later on, but this early would be hurting their sales.

Just sort of a minor question, but are the ban enforcement team on Microsoft still basically unreachable?

While the people who complain about wrongful banning are generally full of shit, I still think it's a really bad idea from a customer service perspective.

Bought Half-Life on Steam for £1.75. I played HL breifly on PS2 but I can't remember anything beyond the first little while.
I'm hoping it lives up to its reputation and I'm hoping the controls aren't ridiculous with this like Esc for jump and Tab+ALT+Enter to pause or whatever.

I had Half Life on PC when it came out and again on PS2, I'd love for Valve to put a high resolution version on the PSN sometime, to go with my Orange Box disc.

As for Aliens, it's my favourite movie ever ever, so I still want to get Colonial Marines, just not when it's at full price. I had a lot of fun playing AVP a few years ago and that game didn't get great reviews either.

Tried the game for 30 seconds. Audio is weird. Like there is a rapid TLK-TLK-TLK noise as someone talks. Like someone is flicking through a catalogue.

Don't like the controls but I could probably customise them.

Before someone comes along and does something stupid like start bashing the name, was it actually named this anywhere in the actual patent? I can't be arsed to check.

Did a quick glance but the name starts to show up on page 5 and 6. Sony also starts to mention the EyeToy and the Eye game series more after that point than their other devices/controllers.
