Aliens in AvP wield no weapons, of course. Their strengths are movement speed and the ability to scramble across any flat surface. With an Xbox 360 controller walks the walls and ceilings by holding down the controller's right trigger and running across them. Ideally you'll get yourself onto the ceiling, hanging over some sap Marines who walk beneath you. If you hold down the A button to jump to the floor, the skilled Alien player will then press X for a gruesome one-hit "trophy kill" or start tapping the controller's shoulder buttons to perform melee swipes. That is ideal. A newcomer might - might - jump down from the ceiling and get shot up by some Marine machine guns."

''With Aliens: Colonial Marines being a utter disappointment, a lot of people are looking for something to fill the void. Something to fill that intense atmosphere steeped in tension. People are wanting to feel vulnerable and easily killed. Others wish to play as the ones doing the killing. These are a few alternatives to Aliens: Colonial Marines that will certainly fill the void.''

News: The CEO and creative director of Sniper Elite V2 developer Rebellion will receive an OBE for “services to the Economy”.
His smiling face makes me want to punch it. For shipping unfinished, bland, and shallow games he should get the absolute opposite of an award.
I was so mad when I bought AVP and it wasn't good. I really liked the demo of Sinper Elite V2 though.
