PushSquare's Playstation Pick Of The Week: Aliens vs. Predator.

It’s another week in PushSquare HQ, and things are really starting to get hectic. Our pile of games just keeps getting bigger and bigger, demanding more and more of our attention. We wish the sun would come out and give us the energy we crave to actually be able to play these games.

PushSquare’s Playstation Pick Of The Week: Aliens vs. Predator [EU/US]

Rebellion’s Aliens vs. Predator reboot may not be on everyone’s list, though it probably should be – the last time they made a similar title it was a huge hit. Fans of Aliens should probably be excited.

Also:

Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce hits in the USA, while the PSN gets two anticipated DLC packs in Assassin’s Creed II: Bonfire Of The Vanities and Resident Evil 5: Lost In Nightmares. The PSP also gets SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3 in the USA and Europe.

SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 Is Finally Due To Hit In February.

It seems to have been subject to a never-ending list of delays, but Slant Six’s latest portable take on the SOCOM franchise, SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3, is finally due for release on February 16th. It’ll be available on the Playstation Store and in retail outlets on UMD.

Amazingly, this Playstation Portable shooter will feature both 16-player online infrastructure multiplayer and four-player co-op. Dude.

Our initial impressions were very positive last year.
