I have so much anticipation for this game it's starting to give me cramps. Any gamer worth his or her title should have played the old AvP titles on PC for the intense Marine single player campaign and the fantastic multiplayer in AvP2.
This is shaping up to be a great looking title dripping with atmosphere. I always thought these games would get better and better as technology progressed and it looks like I'm right so far. Being a marine in these games is the equivalent to being a deer in an open field. Of course, deer armed with automated weapons and flamethrowers, but deer nonetheless when compared to a Xenomorph or Predator. If you played well as a marine, it took a lot of communication and skill and the older titles could be considered precursors to survival co-op like L4D .
Oh man, if this thing has a cooperative horde'esqe mode in the final release it will eat up console multiplayer traffic on XBL and PSN like nothing else.
Man I am SO looking forward to AvP. I just hope the game retains that horror edge that the previous installments had in the marine campaign. I'd hate for them to have dumped it in favour of a heavier action focus like certain other games.

about me
Hi!
I started this blog with the idea in mind that I really would enjoy just bullshitting about games with people as a gamer first and an introspective analyzer of the medium second. A very distant second. I enjoy deep discussions of games in a serious light from time to time but usually I would much rather talk about something else game related in a more casual manner. At this time I'm unemployed so rather than go look for work, I'll do this.
Also I would really, really, like to start a gaming clan called "Helen Keller's Army" If you don't mind going to Hell and you wanna help me make this happen, get in touch with me. I'm always recruiting for some reason and I'd bet Helen would totally dig it.
I enjoy lots of different games for different reasons. Lately I'm going back to old 16 bit 2D games and old PC shareware because I still think that stuff rocks harder than any modern title today, but the new stuff is usually good around the holiday season. I just play whatever looks fun to me regardless of the system.
I also enjoy collecting and spinning music so expect some video game related stuff from time to time.

Oh fuck me...so much nostalgia/hope coursing through these veins.

DO WANT. Oh shit I just got goosebumps hearing the rifle noise.
Cooler than frozen shit from God. I can hardly wait.
Would be cool if you could team up with the Predator, to fight the bugs off.
