New Aliens: Colonial Marines screenshots have acid for blood

Those screenshots look excellent. Screen two shows the Vasquez/Drake gun - Hell yeah! Sincerely hope Gearbox don't make an arse of this.

Really nice to see some new images. But... these aren't pics from a console version are they?

They look more like the PC version of the game. And if they are, it's not necessary. I think people have already made up their mind about this game without the need to entice us with PC images. Personally I wouldn't care if this run on a ten-year-old game engine. It's all about atmosphere, co-op, and the sights and sounds from the movies. Oh, and spending half my time scared and nervous.

Incidentally, you'd imagine with that many face-huggers and so few faces to hug, those lil' b'stards might start fighting each other for your face!

I know this probably wouldn't make a lot of sense, but I've just had an idea for the beginning of this game. In the same way the beginning of Modern Warfare drove you through the streets, I wouldn't mind seeing an on-rails intro to this game, while the credits role, with it ending with you hanging from a wall, looking down at your chest... you can imagine the rest. I think that would be great. Nasty. But great.

Indeed, this raises an important philosophical point. What is a facehugger without a face to hug? On a related note: when you scream in space and there's nobody round to hear it, did you actually make a sound?

When you scream in space, if nobody is around to hear it, you are COMPLETELY screwed..

If nobody hears you scream in space then fartings a winner to then.

What is a facehugger without a face to hug?

Easy; it's an egghugger, or if it leaves the egg it's a groundhugger. And the day they leave the egg it's called groundhug day!

When you scream in space and there's nobody round to hear it, did you actually make a sound?

If you scream in space you make almost no noise as it's a vacuum. However, depending where you are if you made a sound near a sufficient amount of particles (gas) they would react to the sound waves like air does and so you would emit some sound. Although it would be too quiet for human ears to pick up as we've evolved (or God just made us that way if you're a bit backward!) to be accumstomed to Earth's elements and environment.

In short, yes you made a sound, no you wouldn't hear it. Unless your head was in a pressurised, air-filled helmet, then yes you would hear the noise you made. And if you're not wearing a helmet, I wouldn't worry about being heard as you've got bigger problems!

Speaking of George (tree falling in a woods) Berkeley... he was an idiot! He probably questioned whether reality ceased to exist everytime he closed his eyes.
