New Aliens: Colonial Marines Trailer Presents Hadley's Hope

That trailer didn’t show much, but it did a good job of setting a mood. I hate to say it, as much as I love the Aliens universe, but it’s kind of difficult to get all that excited about Colonial Marines—too few of the past Aliens games have even been worth playing. So I’ll hope for the best, but with that in mind I won’t be breaking my game-buying rule and buying Aliens: Colonial Marines on release day, but I made sure to put it in my Blockbuster @Home queue way ahead of time so I can get it as early as possible. My game-buying rule came from one of my DISH coworkers, who suggested that I rent all my games first. Then if I like it enough, I buy it. So I’ve been getting all my games through DISH’s Blockbuster @Home for the last 8 months or so, and it’s saved me a ton of money on games I would have normally bought and barely played. Plus since it’s a pay-by-the-month service, my bill is always the same, no matter how many games I burn through in the month!
