• The 50 best FPS on PC - 21 May 2018

  The best shooters endure. While the state of the art moves on in other genres and leaves old designs in the dust, it’s as fun to fire a well-made shotgun from an early 90s FPS as from one released today. For that reason, this list runs the gamut from genre classics to those released in the last year. There’s bound to be something for you inside. (more…)

• Aliens vs. Marines mod recasts AVP into Crysis 2 - 9 November 2012

  If a sound epitomized Rebellion's 1999 FPS classic Aliens vs. Predator, it's the terror-inducing ping of a motion tracker. Eyeballing your demise creeping closer upon a sensor screen occurred most often during the Marine campaign, and the same weighty pressure of panic from being hunted by something quite evolved into efficiently snuffing out life appears in Aliens vs. Marines, a recreation of AVP's Marine missions glittering with acid-droplet-like beauty on CryEngine 3. Author oldschool.Dave's efforts so far look astounding: explosions deform around objects, injuries don't magically heal themselves, alien encounters won't be scripted, and quicksaving heads out the airlock. From the work-in-progress video, the mod perfectly captures the opening moments of a Marine barreling haphazardly down metallic corridors, shooting egg sacs, and flipping over chairs. And, of course, it's exquisitely…

Within the patches are numerous balance changes, fixes, and updates, none of which will make it to the console versions of the game. Aliens vs. Predator recently received a DLC map pack , it's second, across all three platforms.

• Aliens vs. Predator DirectX 11 Benchmark Released - 29 May 2010

  Rebellion has released a swish standalone DirectX 11 PC benchmark test based upon its shooter Aliens vs. Predator , available in a 303MB download from FileShack . This isn't the benchmark but is nice, isn't it? The benchmark test requires a graphics support supporting DirectX 11 bells and whistles, which are used to produce such fancy features as tessellation, advanced shadow sampling and DX11 anti-aliasing. After showing a cinematic of xenomorphs on the prowl, it'll tell you your average FPS for boasting purposes. Handy, that, no? Aliens vs. Predator was released for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on February 16. Read More

• Amazon Doing Xbox 360 Deals All Day Long - 27 April 2010

  It's that time again! Time to watch the clock, solve the clues, and save big on the Xbox 360 titles featured all day long in Amazon's Gold Box. Is BioShock 2 for $40 really a good deal? Either way, that's what Amazon.com is leading off with today, giving Xbox 360 owners a chance to revisit Rapture at 33% off the asking price. By the time you get done with shipping costs you aren't saving too much, but I suppose it beats not saving anything at all. Then we have today's timed deals. The first deal, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for $46.49, is about to expire. Next up looks to be Mass Effect, unless I am misinterpreting the clue, "Prepare to journey to the darkest reaches of space in this RPG hit." Why not Mass Effect 2? Wait for it... Here's how the rest of the day unfolds: 11AM Pacific: BioWare's deepest universe to date just got bigger... 2PM: Rock out with your Stratocaster. 4PM: A legend…
