A little while ago, I made a post about the upcoming FPS Aliens: Colonial Marines. Today we some gameplay details were released for this upcoming phallic-shaped-cranium title.

First off, the game wont be constricted to the familiar claustrophobic hallways of the movies. There will be outdoor sections of the game. The game will offer a variety of mission objectives. Instead of just progressing through levels, some missions will force you to set up turrets and barricade doors in an effort to make a stand. Also the game will feature quick-time events, ala God of War. Lastly, and most importantly, there will be realistic (well at least to the Aliens universe) acid blood. It will not only hurt you but will melt through the environment.

All in all I’m super excited about this game. Hopefully it will turn out well…

The same day that Apple announces it’s booting NBC off of iTunes, Xbox Live Arcade is adding beloved The Simpsons/Pinky & The Brain ripoff Family Guy.

Microsoft and FOX have signed an agreement, and Family Guy is only the first of many shows coming to the online service for the Xbox 360 console. Episodes will cost 160 points ($2.00), which is slightly more than you’d pay if you bought the DVD sets on Amazon.

Episodes from the first two seasons will be available for download to your 360 hard drive; plus the 90-minute Family Guy Presents: Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story movie.
