Aliens, Assholes and Elbows: Reliving The Madness That Was 'Aliens: Colonial Marines'!
As Aliens turns 30, we look back fondly on arguably one of James Cameron's (and the Alien franchise's) best outings. So, surely a game based on the 1986 blockbuster couldn't fail to do well...right? In 2006 when SEGA announced that it had acquired the rights to the Alien franchise, our chest could've burst with Xenomorph happiness. However, seven years later when Aliens: Colonial Marines finally hit shelves, we felt like Charlize Theron having a spaceship dropped on us. Sadly Aliens: Colonial Marines looked more like the Alien Atari 2600 game from 1982 than the slick cinematic game we had hoped for. This is what went wrong down on LV-426!

Star Wars Game Rumor: Is 'Knights Of The Old Republic' Coming Back?
The award-winning Knights of the Old Republic games are, quite simply, the stuff legends are made of. The first game was released back in 2003, and was set thousands of years before the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy; it used this setting to give us armies of Jedi and Sith in conflict for the fate of the Galaxy, and Mandalorian armies that sweep across the Galaxy.

In Celebration of 'Marvel Avengers Alliance'
Today's the day. Fans of Playdom's popular Avengers Alliance game are in mourning. The game's days have come to an end; today, on September 30th, Avengers Alliance will finish forever. Players are reacting in anger and disappointment, particularly over the fact Playdom has refused to give any refunds. They have one last Special Op to complete, an event that will give them the game's final superhero (Adam Warlock) and wrap up the story they've been part of four four years. It's a sad twist in the game's tale, particularly shocking given Avengers Alliance 2 only came out earlier this year. It's likely as heart-breaking for developers as it is upsetting for players.

Is Marvel Reviving The 'Ultimate Alliance'?
In recent years, it's become a truism that Marvel doesn't make great console games. But that wasn't always the case; back in 2006, we saw Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, a classic action role-playing game that saw players band together superheroes from across the Marvel Universe! 2009's lacklustre sequel, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, was based on the "Civil War" plot; since then, with only a few Spiderific exceptions, Marvel just hasn't performed well on the gaming side of things.

Does 'Uncharted 4' Have The Best Gaming Easter Egg Of All Time?
The release of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is a turning point in the catalogue of Uncharted Games -- not only the last in the franchise, but what many are calling the best game to date. The game is chocked full of nods to the past, with developer Naughty Dog giving their fans one hell of an easter egg. Avid fanboys can go back to the start in honor of Nathan Drake's swan song, all the way back to Naughty Dog's breakout game Crash Bandicoot, or as they used to call it, "Sonic's Ass Game".

Why I Still Play Skyrim and Love It
Skyrim came out in 2011. It is hard to imagine that this year its half a decade old. I still have the dvd game for my xbox and when I get sad and lonely, there's nothing better I like doing than killing some dragons and hunting for some Daedric artifacts.
