I was thinking of upgrading my computer recently but then I figured that there isn't really many games coming out that are PC exclusive that I can't get on my xbox 360 (being repaired ehue). I tend to do this every year or so and my PC is about 5 years old now. I would definitly upgrade for starcraft 2 maybe but that supposed to be late this year right?


What should i do guys?

I've been looking forward to RE5 ever since RE4 was released but when I played the demo it was kind of like "meh." RE4 was kickass when it came out cause it really made it feel like you were being swarmed by zombies and that was pretty awesome cause not a lot of games gave you that feeling. RE5 is pretty much the exact same game but just not as good if you know what I mean. Anyways it comes out soon so we will be able to find out ourselves.

well apparently that Alien RPG's been cancelled

"Today, the game's ambiguous fate was cleared up, courtesy of the resume of former Obsidian designer David Kondor. Kondor's resume on the professional networking site LinkedIn lists the last project that he worked on before leaving Obsidian as a "canceled third-person action Aliens RPG (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC)." Previously, the designer worked at Iron Lore Entertainment, Tilted Mill Entertainment, and Turbine.

Reps for Obsidian confirmed that Kondor was an employee for about a year, but deferred to Sega for comment on the Aliens RPG. As of press time, the Japanese publisher had not issued any new information on the game's status or that of Aliens: Colonial Marines, the first-person shooter in development at Gearbox Software (Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, Borderlands).

"We will have more news to share about our Aliens franchise games in the near future," a rep for the company told GameSpot when news of the Aliens RPG's suspension first hit. "Sega does not comment on rumors or speculation about its products. ... Please stay tuned for future correspondence regarding our products." "

Ya, it is but they haven't officially announced that they canceled it. Actually now that I think about I don't think companies official announce that they cancel games.

sometimes they do - officially Brutal Legend (I think that's what it's called - the guitar hero / banjo kazooie game that's coming out) and also Ghostbusters were both 'officially' canceled when the merger happened for their parent company - but miraculously they are coming out after all (since they were about 95% completed when the merger happened no doubt, and it would be cheap for the new company to release them)

They were never officially canceled, they were just looking for another publisher. Big difference.

I just got aware of North Star a few days ago, but I'm uncertain if it will be released this year.
RT spaceship fights and TB personal combat sounds great.

And Stalin vs Martians seems to make the RTS genre endurable.

I think it's actually a bit anti-climatic after the first two installments but maybe its just me..

I still think the AVP movie should have been a verbatim reenactment of AVP2. Would have been so awesome.
