ALIENS: COLONIAL MARINES

The game set in the Alien universe, previously cancelled back in 2001, has returned with a new developer and publisher. Gearbox Software, previously responsible for the Brothers in Arms series, the PC ports of Halo and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, and the upcoming Borderlands and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway; with publisher Sega, are close to releasing this sci-fi horror shooter for PC, PS3 and 360.

As a fresh recruit in the Colonial Marines, board the Sulaco, cross the jagged plains of LV-426, and journey through futuristic cities, in search of Ellen Ripley and the lost marines sent to "Hadley's Hope", the colony on LV-426. Just remember that marking yourself with the enemies blood ain't so cool these days.

So, last night/this morning I was at the Formal.

Pretty good night. 400-500 people packed into one place, all dressed up, sitting, eating, dancing.

I might even ask my partner who I took to the formal, on a date, but I should take things slow, since we barely know each other. And I hope that she doesn't read this, since she's a gamer, and MIGHT have a GS account, though she wouldn't know I have one.

I'll post some pics up later, if I can find any good ones. I'm not a confident smiler, nor am I photogenic.

3 days from tomorrow. It's probably going to be crap, but, it's an excuse to get dressed up.

I might even get drunk, even though I don't drink.

I haven't met my partner for the formal (but I'm gonna meet her tomorrow...need to make a good impression), though, since it was sorta last minute. Got a nice black, 100% wool suit, with blue pinstripes (I think a friend of mine has the same suit, though, cos we got our suits from the same place.

Venue looks a bit small for about 200-400 people.

Even if the formal turns out to be a total bust, it should be a good night/morning.

After a month and a half, I finally got my PS3 back.

I was ready to sue Sony for keeping me without a PS3 for that long. But, now, I'm happy. Now I can finally download the Bad Company demo, and get MGS4.

BATTLEFIELD: BAD COMPANY

Welcome to the 222nd Army Battalion, B-Company...Bad Company. New recruit to B-Company, Preston Marlowe, thought he was in for hell, but it wasn't just hell, but heaven as well.

Bad Company members Sergeant Samuel Redford and Private Terrance Sweet water, Haggard and Preston Marlowe had no idea being the best of the worst had its rewards. Riches await Bad Company in the premiere of DICE's new game engine, Frostbite.

Almost forgot about the Game of the Month thing.

And for some reason, Sweet water (as one word, not two), is censored...

THE SIMS 2: APARTMENT LIFE

The oppurtunites continue to grow for your Sims.
