Aliens: Colonial Marines is Gearbox’s video game sequel to Aliens. Gearbox has stated that the game is canon and if done right, Aliens 3 would be a better movie. I don’t think that happened at all. Even worse, I think Alien 3 had a better story… I know, right! As the game begins, I was greeted with the most-screen-tearing-in-a-game-ever-award, cinematic scene. I arrived at the Sulaco in response to a distress call by Corporal Hicks. Obviously, the Sulaco is...
Rolling out worldwide to PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 today is the first DLC pack for the critically acclaimed Borderlands 2 from 2K Games and Gearbox Software.

Borderlands 2 is yet another sequel in a year that has been full of sequels. The original Borderlands was a first person perspective role player with a robust loot system and a bare bones story propped up by the scaffolding of quests and a shallow narrative involving four vault hunters searching for a legendary vault believed to be filled with alien treasure that would lead to fame and fortune. It was essentially a dungeon crawler crossed with a shooter and was...
I have been looking forward to Borderlands 2 since Gearbox Software announced it was in development. To say that I love Borderlands would be a colossal understatement. I first bought the game for PC off of Steam and then later purchased it for my PS3. I think Borderlands was brilliant at melding a hardcore RPG with an open world first person shooter. It felt as good as any first person shooter of the tim, the upgrade tree was deep and the world of Pandora was a blast...
My bad y’all. I was so busy with getting ready for PAX (I swear I wasn’t being lazy, maybe a little) that I totally didn’t post the dev diaries 2 and 3 for Aliens: Colonial Marines. My bad, but I did a preview of what I saw at PAX Prime 2012 here. In the 2nd installment of the dev diaries, the Gearbox team talks about Xenos vs Marines. They go into what makes each side dangerous and also give their opinion on the best weapon in the game. Enjoy! The 3rd...
In the first diary the Gearbox team speaks on how they were focused on the getting the Xenomorphs, just right. In the 2nd installment of the dev diaries, the Gearbox team talks about Xenos vs Marines. They go into what makes each side dangerous and also give their opinion on the best weapon in the game. Enjoy! The 3rd dev diary focuses on the environments and places you’ll encounter and traverse through in Aliens: Colonial Marines. From the Sulaco to Hadley’s...
I have seen a live demo of the solo campaign at PAX East and even had the opportunity to play some team DM as well. At PAX Prime 2012, four of us from LevelSave had the chance to check out Aliens: Colonial Marines newly announced game mode, Escape. Many of us enjoy multiplayer in a great shooter. If you’re anything like me though, unless the mechanics of the game itself are somewhat unique, you get bored very quickly. So upon hearing we were being given the opportunity...
