[Review] Aliens vs Predator

Aliens vs Predator (AvP) is a game that combines two of the greatest movie icons from the last two decades.  This franchise reboot maintains the formula of being part stealth, part horror and part shooter. Aliens, Predators and Colonial Marines clash together on a planet that has set pieces from the past few films, such as the ancient temples from the first Alien vs Predator movie, and the jungles from the original Predator. While the story is not ground breaking, it does hold your attention until the end. Each species have their own short campaigns that overlap each other throughout the main storyline. This offers a different perspective on the same situation, while offering a unique experience for each side with vastly different gameplay mechanics. The Colonial Marine campaign is the most polished and the longest, while the Alien and Predator campaigns feel somewhat rushed.

Splinter Cell Conviction demo coming soon قريباً: نسخة ديمو من لعبة “سبلنتر سل كونفكشن”

In a recent interview covering a Q&A session for fans, the Creative Director for Splinter Cell: Conviction, Maxime Béland, revealed that a demo for the game will be out.

“Yes, there will be one. I can’t tell you what map or when it’s going to be released yet. My lips are sealed.”

From the quote above, one can guess that it will be a multiplayer demo, or at least have some aspects of it, going by the mention, or lack thereof, of the”map” coming out with the demo. The game is out on April 16th, and given the multiplayer maps are usually out well before a game’s release to stress test online servers, I’d say the demo will be out late this month of early April at the latest.

Full Q&A video after the jump.

Only in Dubai: God of War III banned and leaked فقط في دبي: لعبة “غود أوف وور” تُمنع وتتسرب بنفس الوقت

The God of War series has traditionally been banned in the UAE by the National Media Council, as it contradicts the country’s cultural beliefs and values. A direct result of such banhammers is that nobody actually cares except high street retailers, so people who actually want to play these games can get it from smaller shops or just import them directly from US or UK.

One of our readers in Dubai has shown his recently acquired copy of the game, a full week before official release date. A full week before the NMC even has a chance to ban the game.
