Dammit! I had suspected that Gearbox’s Aliens: Colonial Marines title might be in serious risk of an airlocking, as news on its development has been sketchy at best. Looks like my fears were realized. I’m seriously disappointed though – this is probably my all-time favorite movie license. [sigh] Game over, man! (Sorry, someone had to [...]
Wow – the ol’ blog is looking very neglected. Let’s start with a catch-up post. We’ve been pretty busy, and even more so at work, hence the lack of posts. Left 4 Dead Most of my gaming group got together last week to test drive the Left 4 Dead demo on XBL. Very freaking fun. [...]

I was very jazzed to hear that Fantasy Flight Games‘ excellent WWI fighter dogfight game Wings of War is coming to XBLA. I had demoed the game at GenCon ’07, and was very excited to pick it up. The board game’s Famous Aces starter box had been out of stock for a while though, and [...]
Oh. My God. I just finished playing through the Mirror’s Edge demo (released today on both XBL and the Playstation Store). Wow. You’ve never played anything like this before – trust me – and that’s perhaps what excites me the most about this game. We’re not just talking new IP – this is an entirely [...]
