GamesCom previewed some Aliens vs Predator multiplayer today which was quite the delicate surprise.

Single-player might make this game, but one of the biggest features involves the multiplayer for Aliens vs Predator. The multiplayer provided us with a look into a number of modes that pit three races at the same time under one world or environment similar to the single-player experience. The alien remains very fast and agile as before, while having the ability to make close quarter attacks. The Predator still remains the cloaking monster we have seen so far before and can use gadgets to advance his claim on the world while also platform jumping around. Finally, the marine spawns with no weapons in hand, and has to scavenge for them – giving a thrill rather than a disadvantage. The marine class does come with a large group of assault rifles and grenade launchers, in addition to shotguns from two barrels with one shot and a gun that can auto-aim.

AvP offers multiple game modes including Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch that is similar to the sandbox linear path of killing enemies. While players can be on their own teams, certain Mixed Species modes can allow an Alien and a Predator to work together to create an interesting turn of events for the two species that once fought everytime they met. Rebellion clearly did this for the fans that are not complaining anymore. The infestation mode is perhaps the best mode to cover in this preview. Infestation was simply fun. As a zombie-similar mode, Infestation begins with one alien and other marines that soon become Aliens themselves if they get killed. The resulting completion includes a last-man standing with all aliens everywhere. Simply genius and it plays as well as the controls are schemed.

We simply cannot wait for Aliens vs Predator to come out so we can try more of it ourselves in a dark room with our 10.1 speaker setups in our HQ offices.

The facetious moon scatters its light through the clouds, as the Bat-Signal erupts through the dark as a beacon in the light. The Joker strangely enough gives up without a fight and is taken to the infamous Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane, where an “unfortunate” fire has recently taken place due to the terrible wiring of the facility. Batman: Arkham Asylum presents a stark and harrowing tale where players are the infamous and caped crusader: Batman, who struggles to escape the grasp of Arkham Asylum and the deadly Blackgate prisoners that have taken command with the Joker.  Rocksteady Studios partly creates one of the best interpretations of the dark and atmospheric nature of Batman that has gone unrealized for a long time in the video games medium. The suspense is gritty, the gadgets and abilities are wondrous, and the chilling voice-acting by Mark Hamill as The Joker (originally played in Batman: The Animated Series) makes the atmosphere of Arkham Asylum revive from the unexplored depths of terror. Being the knight of the dark is a benison to feeling the power of being an invisible predator of the night, but unfortunate back-tracking, limited enemy models, lack of realism, problematic A.I., and repetitive gameplay makes Arkham Asylum a dreadful place for more than one reason.

Throw a pass and watch as your left-fielder is tackled to the ground by the other team realistically and believably. Madden 2000 set the frontier for football-crazed fans to get a chance to play their favorite teams with a friend next to them in an appreciable graphics setting.  There have been so many changes year after year with some years more productive than others, but thankfully Madden NFL 2010 is the best one by far. Despite its issues, Madden NFL 2010 delivers a great football action experience. While EA Tiburon aims to improve previous features left complicated through time in the series of Madden, the improvements in Madden NFL 2010 stand out well. All of these different additions work in harmony to the central gameplay mechanics.
