Have a very classy Aliens: Colonial Marines trailer screenshot

SEGA has released a new trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines. It's exclusive to IGN, but you can view their Youtube version of the video just above.

There's no gameplay footage, which I'd really like more of at this stage, but the trailer is nonetheless very cool. The Xenomorph fanboy in me loves the way it's been set up, so I can't complain too much.

Still, next time let's see more of the game in action. I'm desperate to see how it's looking now.

Colonial Marines is scheduled for Fall 2012.

The DTOID Show: Wii-U madness and Pok?mon Photoshops screenshot

Happy Friday, everyone! Hopefully you all tuned into our live show today and won an XBLA code for the latest Orcs Must Die! DLC, but if not, don't worry! There will be plenty more giveaways in the near future - and that's a Tara Long Promise©!

In the meantime though, some videogame news was discussed today and I should probably mention it. First up, about a gazillion announcements regarding the Wii U have surfaced since Nintendo revealed their Q4 financial numbers, and we're here to speculate on some new names for the Wii U. Over in RPG land, Kingdoms of Amalur: The Reckoning has an online pass (WTF?) and Mass Effect 3's got a new multiplayer trailer and an excessively excessive amount of DLC. Last but not least, the Resistance series is officially in the hands of Nihilistic Software.

During the second half of the show, Max shows off some Photoshopped Pokémon crossover suggestions he collected from the chat during last week's live show. Needless to say, they proved to be quite the effective use of work time!

Resident Evil: Revelations will be sold for
$39.99

Resident Evil: Revelations will be sold for $39.99 screenshot

Last year, Capcom announced that it had to put Resident Evil: Revelations on a 4GB card instead of the standard 2GB, causing the price to jump from $39.99 to $49.99. Ever since this announcement, Capcom has diligently been working on ways to get the price lowered to the standard price point. It seems they were successful in that mission, as today they've officially announced that Revelations will be sold for $39.99.

I was originally on board for the increased ticket price, especially after playing the fantastic demo that hit the Nintendo eShop recently. But, it's exciting to see Capcom was able to get price lowered. Hopefully this will get more people to go out and pick it up that were apprehensive about spending a bit more than the standard price of a new 3DS game. Does this news sway anyone who was on the fence of buying Revelations?

Fan project Renegade X: Black Dawn available
tomorrow

Fan project Renegade X: Black Dawn available tomorrow screenshot

Fans of the Command & Conquer series have had to deal with their fair share of ups and downs for the past few years. Up: Ric Flair fighting a bear. Down: Command & Conquer 4. After three years of work from Totem Arts, a small mod group, I don't think Renegade X: Black Dawn will be added to the "Down" category.

January 28, 2012 will mark the release of its single-player mini-campaign, Black Dawn. According to Totem Arts, this will serve as a primer for the multiplayer that is currently being conducted in beta form. Black Dawn will be available as a free download from the Renegade X website, and if you like what you're shooting and have a copy of Unreal Tournament 3, then you can still join in on the beta.

Renegade X is a spiritual successor to the original PC title Command & Conquer: Renegade. Renegade X has already been recognized by various mod community sites, and had also placed second in the Epic Games-sponsored Make Something Unreal Contest for the category of Best Vehicle Set. Only downside: very little Ric Flair.

[Thanks, SanjiX!]

Aliens Colonial Marines: Contact Trailer

NEWS - Hey guys! Gearbox wants to remind you all that yes, Aliens: Colonial Marines is still coming out! It's been a long hard road for this game and it has yet again been pushed back, this time to fall 2012. Jeeze, how much longer do I have to wait Gearbox? 14 years? Kidding, kidding! Sure the delay will probably position the game as a launch title for Wii U, which will be interesting, but I can't help thinking that this is somehow all Duke Nukem's fault.

And hey, what is the music from awesome indie scifi film Moon doing in this trailer?

Capcom slashes Resident Evil Revelations to
$39.99

post from Gaming Nexus on 27 January 2012 09:14:00 PM. © Gaming Nexus

NEWS - Wait, Resident Evil Revelations isn't even out in America yet, right? That hasn't stopped Capcom from knocking 10 bucks off the MSRP, which has just gone from an eyebrow-raising $49.99 to the standard 3DS price of $39.99. Apparently fans were vocal enough about not buying Capcom's excuse that the original $50 was because the big 4GB card they were printing the game on was too expensive. In any case this at least gives you an extra Hamilton to put toward a Circle Pad pro.

In my personal opinion $40 still is too much for portable games anymore, especially with the ultra-cheapo mobile gaming market dominating these days. I never look a gift horse in the mouth and 10 bucks off is pretty nice, but with the endless shovelware on iOS going for a couple dollars, is the average consumer even willing to pay $40 for a portable game anymore, even if it (potentially) has a lot more content?

Whoa! Better not sprain my ankle on my way down from my soapbox.

Clay Jam Preview (iPhone, iPad, Android)

Claymation is a lot of fun to watch, but it hasn't had much luck crossing over into the realm of video games. I think the last time I played a claymation game was with ClayFighter back in the mid-90s. However developer Fat Pebble is getting ready to bring the animation style to mobile devices with Clay Jam, and it looks like the game will be a true work of art.

The special forces of Mass Effect 3's co-op

The special forces of Mass Effect 3's co-op screenshot

I imagine people like me will play Mass Effect 3's co-op long enough to see what it's about and quickly lose interest, moving back into the quiet realm of offline play.

It all seems to come down to how much you enjoy the series' brand of combat. I've never been bored by it, but I also can't say it's particularly engaging. Of course, that could all change with Mass Effect 3. This trailer is reassuring, though videos like these are never perfectly indicative of hands-on play.
