NA ALIENS COLONIAL

E3 2011: Aliens Colonial Marines – the sequel that should have been.

James Cameron’s Aliens is one of my favorite films of all time. As a matter of fact, while riding around in the limo during my bachelor party we watched Aliens in-between stops of mayhem. In one of the saddest moments in film history the Aliens franchise took a nose-dive after the second installment. In a case of “worst idea ever” the geniouses at FOX decided to kill off Newt, Hicks, and Bishop and erase some amazing characters. That’s right, three iconic characters gone with the stroke of a pen. Fast forward twenty years. Aliens has been ripped off dozens of times by other major films and video games. Blockbuster AAA titles like Halo blatantly stole their technical design from Cameron’s Aliens. Imitation as they say…. So why has there never been a truly amazing Aliens video game? Gearbox hopes to remedy that with Aliens: Colonial Marines coming in 2012. Take a look at this teaser… for the film that should have been.

PAX East 2013: Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag – Yo Ho Ho!

I was ushered into a small theatre this morning, complete with four grim looking bouncers (yes really), to take a brief look at Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and walked away incredibly impressed. Ubisoft catches a lot flack for releasing Assassin’s creed (almost) annually, but I’m happy to say Assassin’s Creed IV appears to be something entirely new and innovative.

PAX East 2014: EVOLVE – Hunt or be Hunted

RNA_PAX_2014In EVOLVE four hunters, each with unique weapons and skills, race to bring down a monstrous behemoth that is constantly growing more deadly as the match progresses. Think of the game sort of like the movie Predator, but with the Predator constantly munching on steroids to get even more predator-y. Both Scott and I played EVOLVE at this year’s PAX and had very different experiences.
