Aliens Vs. Predator Vs. Dynasty Warriors Vs. Ace Attorney—Weekly Roundup 2/15

This week sees the release of Aliens vs. Predator, a game with a—how should I put this—dedicated fanbase. After we gave it a 5.75, its defenders came to its defense, rallying against our review and calling us everything from idiots to…well, I can’t really print it here. This week, those vocal fans will be able to actually play the thing. Good luck to you all, and I wish you the best in your future endeavors. In other releases, there’s a new SOCOM game and yet another Dynasty Warriors installment. Also Shutter Island hits theaters. I can’t help but think the scene with the creepy lady making a throat-slashing gesture won’t be quite as powerful in context now that I’ve seen it in the commercials about a billion times.
