Aliens: Colonial Marines Shows Off Bloody Launch Trailer

February 13, 2013

While not exactly wowing reviewers and fans so far with a number of glitches and story issues, Aliens: Colonial Marines launch trailer looks (by itself) pretty impressive. Placing players right in the boots of gung-ho Marines made famous by the blockbuster movie Aliens, this latest iteration in the series is set as a direct sequel to the story of the movie, with investigations into a ruined Hadley’s Hope and of course the now infamous Sulaco. Although breaking street date by several days in Australia the launch trailer was released alongside the official embargo.

Aliens: Colonial Marines is out now for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Check out the sweet video down below.

LEGO Lord of the Rings may have already visited practically every other current generation console and hand held (i.e. Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PS Vita, Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS and PC), but even with all those available options there is still a chance that gamers might have missed the chance to throw Gimli about willy-nilly, turn people into dancing skeletons, or destroy the One Ring (if you’re into that).

To ensure that the absolute maximum number of players get to enjoy any or all of those things and more, LEGO Lord of the Rings is set to be coming to Mac on February 21st, 2013. Thanks to the folks at Feral Interactive, a leading publisher of Mac games, gamers that find themselves exclusive to Mac will be able to enjoy the adventure and fun.

Priced at $29.99 in North America (£19.99 UK or €24.99 elsewhere in Europe), LEGO Lord of the Rings will be available upon its release for direct download from Feral Interactive, as well as other partnered digital sites worldwide.

Serious Sam Double D XXL Coming To XBLA

Thomas Hellier

February 12, 2013

Have you ever looked at a gun in a game and thought ‘this gun could use more guns?’ Not a chainsaw attached to a gun a la Gears of War, or guns attached to a wheelchair as seen in Dead Rising 2. I mean a gun attached to a gun. I have, and so have the makers of Serious Sam Double D XXL, but they took it to the extreme.

Serious Sam Double D was released on Steam late 2011 and has been a well received addition to the franchise. The side scrolling shoot ’em up is well suited for the XBLA format and the developers at Mommy’s Best Games have included tonnes of new goodies for returning fans and new recruits alike. The stand out feature of this game has to be the ability to stack up to 6 guns on top of each other at once. In a video released today (see below) watching all six guns simultaneously lay waste to the hectic onslaught of Mental’s horde is seriously hypnotising.

The XXL edition has several new features, outside of the usual XBLA leader boards and more missions. Co-op has been included for the Xbox as well as a wealth of new upgrades and enemy types. Serious Sam Double D XXL will be released on the 20th of February this year, much to the dismay of hoards of dudes with bombs for hands everywhere.
