Aliens vs. Predator is out next week, and while opinions are divided as to whether or not the game will be any good, there is one universal truth that cannot be denied -- Aliens are blatantly better than Predators. This is an undisputed fact that only idiots and Danny Glover would disagree with, and I make an obvious exception for The Glove.
Everyone else, however, deserves to die if they believe a Predator is better than an Alien in any way, shape or form. In order to prove just how wrong they are, I present a list of evidence in an article that one could accuse of being only spuriously linked to gaming at best. If you are pathetic enough to deny the superiority of Aliens right now, you will soon change your ways when reading this article.
So, allow me, the Queen of Right, to lay Eggs of Truth full of Correctness Facehuggers that will rape your stupid face and put a Not Being Wrong About Sci-Fi Chestburster inside you.

Because the 2004 Xbox title Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball needed a sequel, it's getting one this year, thanks to Majesco.
The publisher has announced that Greg Hastings Paintball 2 will be hitting Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii this September. The game features both single and multiplayer gameplay modes and events based in real-life paintball fields. The game also has a new feature called the "Cheat Meter," which lets you wipe off pain splatters before getting caught. Is that something people do?
Also on tap is downloadable content, because once you get a taste of Greg Hastings Paintball 2, you're going to want more. The game is being developed by Super X Studios who have previously developed a photo safari title for the PC, as well as an outer space screen saver.

If we were to guess, we'd say that Square Enix's and Eidos' Deus Ex 3 has a name now -- Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
It's a safe bet, considering that Square Enix filed a trademark for that name in Europe. And then in North America. Human Revolution it is, then.
Deus Ex 3 was announced as a PC only title, but rumors and speculation point to the it making its ways to consoles as well.

It's been far too long since we've talked about beta sign-ups for a big-name MMO. Sure, there's been plenty of discussion about console betas -- the kind that are essentially demos and used primarily for marketing purposes; MMO betas, though? Not so much.
What better game to help us break that silence than NetDevil's LEGO Universe? By all accounts, it could be the hot new thing for anyone who grew up playing with LEGOs, not just today's kids. Plus, it's different enough in subject matter that we won't have to bring up World of Warcraft. Shoot! Too late.
Here's the link you'll need to get set up for this thing. It's required that you have a LEGO ID, but the process is pretty painless and once you get your account finalized, it only takes a few seconds to confirm your desire to gain access to the beta.

In an odd and surprising turn, NIS America has changed the name of its PlayStation Portable title Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman to What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord?!.
NIS says the name change is because "the original title had a conflict of interest with an existing IP." While the publisher doesn't get specific, said conflict could be related in some way to DC Comics' Batman character (although that's not been confirmed).
"We did not intend to create any conflict," the statements reads, "so we have decided to change the title."
Fair enough. The sequel to the original game, the game formerly known as Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! 2 (and now What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord ?! 2) will be released on May 4.

Last week Destructoid and several other outlets were invited to a 2K Games review event to evaluate the MP component of BioShock 2 -- a delicious bit of early access that I found as satisfying as the booze and hamburgers served at the event. But after I gorged on the component and feast, I stopped to have a chat with some of the crew responsible for the component: Digital Extreme's Mathieu Berube and 2K Marin's Melissa Miller.
I asked the two why it was necessary to include multiplayer in the sequel to a game that was lauded for its rich solo play. I even dug in a bit about the differences in development between the two titles, and asked the all important question: what happens if people don't like the game? The results are filled with hilarious profanity.

Today we take to the sea, with an exclusive look at "The Krakek," an Cybran faction experimental submarine in Supreme Commander 2.
"It has a very intimidating look," says Gas Powered Games Chris Taylor. "Its looks match its firepower."
Obviously designed after the mythical sea monster of the same name, Supreme Commander 2's Kraken can be used to destroy nearby ships, aircraft, as well as enemy submarines. The Kraken's usefulness isn't confined to water, however -- bringing the unit close to shore will allow it to attack structures and land units.
Be sure not to miss yesterday's look at the "Bomb Bouncer." Tomorrow we take a look at a Supreme Commander 2 unit inspired by the real-life AC130 gunship, the AC1000. Yes, the discrepancy in numbers gives you a good idea of what we're dealing with.

This week's episode has a pretty long Games of the Week segment (mainly because we spend a healthy portion of it talking about artgames), so be ready for that.
After the first half of the show, however, the regular Podtoid crew yaks about Sonic 4, EA's 2011 lineup, and some other stuff I can't remember at the moment.

Ah, Level 5. I like those guys. I'd like them to make more games. Less portable ones would be nice. Oh, and U.S. releases would be fantastic. You know. Just whatever. If you're listening.
They are working on some Wii and PlayStation 3 games, though. Akihiro Hino, Level 5's president, said that his company has some PS3 and Wii titles in development at a company meeting. Of course, no names of titles were given. We'll have to wait until later this year. Maybe they'll have something at the 2010 Tokyo Game Show to put in their inexplicably large show floor booth.
We know that a sequel to White Knight Chronicles is coming to the PS3. Other than that, it's anyone's guess.
Speaking of White Knight Chronicles, I'm currently playing it for a Destructoid review. I didn't love it at first, but it has grown on me. Nothing fancy, but I'm enjoying it. Look for our review soon.

Surprise! PixelJunk Shooter 2 is happening! Actually, we kind of knew about it already. Q-Games' Dylan Cuthbert has been mighty talkative lately, and he's only just beginning to discuss the sequel to last year's most fluid-filled game in-depth.
"We still have a ton of ideas on the drawing board and the engine has lots of potential we want to use before moving onto our next idea," Cuthbert told G4. "It would be a waste not to use it to try out more stuff."
"We managed to put in all the ship 'suits' that we thought up this time around, but there will be a number of new suits to make use of some of the brand new ideas for fluid gimmicks you may or may not see sometime soon."
Sounds good to me. I feel like PixelJunk Shooter could have been fleshed out more, and a sequel would be able to fairly easily expand on what is an all-around neat concept for a dual-joystick shooter.

Dream Chronicles started out as a PC game, but now it's coming to Xbox's Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network by way of Hudson. It's a surreal mystery dreamscape adventure game. That make any sense? It will when you see it. You play as Faye, who is out in a strange world to find her husband and escape a spell of sleeping that has been cast over the town of Wish.
It's a puzzler/adventure game that won a Zeeby winner for “People’s Choice Award for Best Hidden Object & Adventure Game of 2007” in its PC form. I kind of miss these pre-rendered, puzzle-packed adventures. Looks interesting.
Hudson will be bringing the title to consoles this Spring. Check out our gallery below for some screenshots.

If you're not yet sick of spending pretend Microsoft money on present toys for your pretend people, then BioShock 2 has you covered. A range of items based on the 2K Games sequel has hit Xbox Live, ready to suck up your money in celebration of today's release.
For the low, low price of "Not Free," you can dress up your mawkish Avatars in a range of Big Daddy and Little Sister clothes, as well as obtain a Big Daddy doll for the thing to hold. It's a bloody great day to be borderline retarded and have too much money!
Instead of buying any of this stuff, why not buy BioShock 2? We reviewed it and thought it was great, even if some of you seem to think that a score of 8.0 is somehow bad. Mind you, if you're that stupid, then this Avatar gear should be right up your alley!

Akira Yamaoka has been all over the news lately. We first told you that he was leaving Konami after many years of working on horror game series Silent Hill. Last week we found out that he's the newest employee of Grasshopper Manufacture, and is already working on a new game for them. Now we hear that the composer is going to be speaking at the 2010 Game Developer's Conference.
In the Audio Track, his panel, "As Long as the Audio is Fun, the Game Will Be Too," Yamaoka will speak from his experience in the game audio field, going back 20 years.
He says:
"People tend not to think about game design and audio design in parallel. I will present my views on audio design in games from a producer's perspective, having had experience in both roles."
It should be noted that he has wasted no time, with the listing naming him Akira Yamaoka of Grasshopper Manufacture Studio.
I'll definitely be there to hear what the man has to say. I hope he talks a bit about his new game.

It would appear that Telltale Games is preparing a brand new adventure for Sam & Max with a third season of mindbending puzzles and faintly embarrassing witticisms. It's called Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse.
At least, that's according to the OFLC. The rating board outed the game recently, shedding a little titular light on the future of the Freelance Police. That's all there is at the moment, but considering the last season ended with Episode 5: What's Cooking Beelzebub?, it would appear that we're picking up where we left off. The OFLC says that Episode 1 of The Devil's Playhouse will be called The Penal Zone.
So there you go. More Sam & Max for anybody who's interested. Hooray!
