This game can be summed up in one sentence: it has aliens and guns… and it looks great! Aliens: Colonial Marines looks like it’s going to turn out to be a great experience filled with constant saliva falling from the ceiling and scared soldiers looking in the wrong direction before its too late.

SG E3 2011: Anarchy Reigns Camera Ruins the Fun
For this year’s E3, I was wondering if SEGA and Platinum Games could surprise me again like they did with Vanquish. I had not even heard of the game until I was at last year’s expo and the trailer caught my eye. When the game finally released, I loved the fast-action gameplay and it was…

SG E3 2011: Vita Bends Gravity & Makes Sweet Music
While Lono snuck into the conference rooms to get some hands-on experience with the Vita, I was able to go to Sony booth’s VIP (thank you friends in high places) to also see if the Vita was worth the buzz it was receiving. Two games stuck out for me because of its interesting mechanics and…
