EndWeekGame: February 19

Andrei Dumitrescu: It's the week of BioShock 2 for me and I will continue to play the role of early Big Daddy this weekend, aiming to liberate all Little Sisters and then get as much ADAM from corpses as possible before I go to what I suppose to be the final section of the game. BioShock 2 is a welcome evolution...

The PS3 Got an Updated Aliens vs Predator Demo

While Rebellion's demo took some flak from the franchise's fans for delivering a very basic, simple gameplay with the Deathmatch mode, the developers responded by saying that this was the best solution they could come up with in order to get players accustomed to the controls in the title. While not necessa...

For all those that were unsatisfied with the multiplayer demo's Deathmatch mode, Rebellion finally launched the full game yesterday, giving everyone a taste of the rest of its features.

Deathmatch Was a Rather Poor Demo Mode for AvP, Rebellion Offers Explanation for It

While Rebellion released its demo for Aliens vs Predator almost two weeks ago, most of the players that got their hands on it were pretty discontent with what they saw. It wasn't so much that the game proved unimpressive, it was just that the multiplayer mode chosen for the demo, simple deathmatch, was considere...

AvP Isn't in the Same Multiplayer War with Other FPS

While the single player is definitely the biggest part of Rebellion's upcoming Aliens vs Predator, with three different campaigns and a powerful atmospheric and immerisve element, the game also has a multiplayer that can make its developers proud.

Rebellion Never ‘Even Considered’ Not Making the Game Graphic

Ever since it first crept up on the market, Rebellion's upcoming Aliens vs Predator has stood out through its brutal display of uncensored violence.

EndWeekGame: February 5

Florian Totu: I'm still wrestling with the second playthrough of Mass Effect 2, looking for different choices to make, but today my attention was captivated by a brighter light. Actually, two brighter lights. One of them was the multilayer demo for Rebellion's Aliens vs Predator, which, at a first look, tur...

Aliens vs Predator, the Marine Is the God of Multiplayer

Yes, you read it right. At least in the demo, where everyone is still getting the hang of things, the Marines are the kings of the game. Out of seven played matches, each and every time, a Marine was on top. This was because, at first at least, theory and reality didn't mix. What works great on paper, gets compl...

EB Games Australia Joins the Fight Against Game Banning

While Germany is not a lot kinder when it comes to rating or refusing to rate games, Australia is on an entirely different level.

Microsoft's Game Room Won't Feature Titles Beyond an E10+ Rating

Microsoft's Game Room may be bringing back some of the classic arcade games, but, unfortunately, most of the nostalgia that we're expecting from it won't be coming along for the ride.

Rebellion Attacks the Concept of Day-One DLC

While some developers have stared using this method, mostly to secure sales and cut back on the numbers of games that change hands for money, Rebellion for one doesn't approve at all of the DLCs that make players pay to unlock content that is already on the disc. Talking to SPOnG, David Brickley, the director of...

Nothing Can Top AvP's Three-Way War

One way or another, Rebellion's upcoming Aliens vs Predator is already part of gaming history. The title scored the incredible feat of changing the mind of the Australian Rating Board, and finally receiving a rating approval after it was initially banned. Australia is known for banning a large number of games, m...

Rebellion Confirms Aliens vs Predator Demo

After a rather turbulent pre-launch existence, with an unsurprising ban in Australia surging from failing to obtain a rating, and a very surprising un-banning, after Sega's appeal, things seem to fall back in line with normality, and the game will even get a demo so that we can sink our teeth, wristblades or com...

Aliens vs Predator Gets Unbanned in Australia

Another game that got banned Down Under was Rebellion's upcoming Aliens vs Predator, and, while other games that suffered the same fate decided that they should at least try to play nice, Rebellion made it very clear that it had no intention to alter the title's content.

The Aliens movie came out in 1986 and today Xenomorphs are one of the first things that pops into their heads when they think of extraterrestrial creatures.

Rebellion Replies to Australia's Decision to Ban AvP

Earlier today, we saw that Rebellion's upcoming resurrection of the Aliens vs Predator series, in all its gore and glory, wouldn't be allowed access onto Australian soil in its current form. The country's rating board decided that the game was not suitable for an MA15+ rating, and, since there is no hi...

Aliens vs Predator Got Banned in Australia

Every time a new games comes out, the question that becomes number one on everybody's mind is whether or not it will be approved in Australia. The country has a very faulty rating system, where the maximum rating a title can receive is an MA15+, after which it is refused classification and, as a consequence, it&...
