For the 12th gameXcess.net Podcast, the topic is Max Payne, and boy do I have a lot to say about these games.  My history with this series goes quite deep and because of the release of Max Payne 3 last week, I thought now was the perfect time to talk about all of it.

I talk about my first exposure to the game series, the three games, the movie, and how this franchise became such an important part of my career.

It’s been made official, well, official again.  Gearbox Software has confirmed the final release date for the highly anticipated multiplatform game, Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Based on the highly popular science-fiction franchise, the game is a canonical sequel to the movie Aliens, which was released in 1986 and was directed by James Cameron.  The new game follows the Marines squad that goes back to LV-426 in the aftermath of the movie, and finds things are not exactly what they expected.

You can read our latest preview of the game from PAX East 2012 here.  Or just check out the game’s latest trailer!

Aliens: Colonial Marines is coming February 12th, 2013 to the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.  A Wii U version of the game has also been confirmed by Gearbox and Nintendo but no mention of that was made with the announcement.
