Brad Beach and myself attended PAX East 2012 and there were only a handful of games we felt we had to check out, Aliens: Colonial Marines was one of those games. We were shuffled through back door into a small, dark  room with two TVs on the wall and thankfully a comfy floor, as we were exhausted. We were presented with a live solo demo of Aliens: CM and also told that if Gearbox did their job correctly that even “Alien 3 would be a better movie,” as this game...

If you want to play Mass Effect 3, don’t end Mass Effect 2 like this

The only video game related item on my to-do list this week is finish Mass Effect 2. Well, I already finished it, but not everyone made it out alive. That’s my goal. I asked Levelsave’s Brad Beach for help on the end. He just kept telling me that I was a “horrible leader” for letting people in my command die. So what did I do? Searched youtube of course. Now during my search I came across a video of what you DO NOT want to do. Completing the game in...
