Rumor confirmed - Obsidian Entertainment has finally announced through their official forums that the Aliens RPG has indeed been canned. For those who've been trying to get more updates on the matter, then this ought to be the final nail on that coffin.

Gearbox Software's Aliens: Colonial Marines (PS3, Xbox 360) was first announced three years ago. Originally, it was supposed to come out last year, but it was rescheduled for a mid-2009 release. We're now coming to the end of mid-2009 but the game's still nowhere in sight. Gearbox says it's still coming, though. Just not this year.

If you thought growing up on your hood was tough, wait 'til you experience THQ's Homefront, yet another FPS coming to the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Developed by Kaos Studios, this new shooter takes the fight out of the usual jungles, complexes, and fictional planets. Homefront, as the name implies, will have you defending your very own backyard against invading foreigners, and when they walk into your place with guns, you know things are gonna get personal.

Sega has let loose official details regarding Rebellion Developments' upcoming Aliens vs. Predator game. You can check out story details for the Marine, Xenomorph, and Predator in the full article. We have screenshots and a video too.

You guys haven't forgotten Airtight Studios and Capcom's Dark Void (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC) yet, have you? Capcom's pretty much stayed quiet about it for the past couple of months, after all. They're pulling back the curtains with a bang for Captivate09, though, what with these new Dark Void screenshots and videos.

Jason Kingsley, co-founder of Aliens vs Predator video game developer Rebellion Developments, has dished out a few details about their upcoming entry in the long-running franchise. Read on for more details.

Yet another title is joining this generation's ever-growing archive of first-person shooters. Some of these shoot aliens, some shoot zombies, some shoot Nazi Zombies, and some shoot big, annoying freaks called Tank. This time, you'll be shooting the crap out of heretics and demons as you find yourself in the thick of political and religious intrigue in Hellion: Mystery of the Inquisition (PS3, Xbox 360, PC).

This week is like multiplatform game week. Pretty much everything that drops this week for both the handhelds and the home consoles are multiplatform: Wanted: Weapons of Fate, The Wheelman, Legends of WrestleMania... Looks like the only console to get some exclusives this week is the DS. But enough chitchat. Let's get right on to the release schedules!

It wasn't hyped up enough for me to feel genuinely sorry to see it go, but it's still a pity that this project didn't pull through. The Aliens RPG that's been in development in Obsidian Entertainment is now confirmed to be canceled - or at least, as confirmed as it's probably going to get.

Details after the link.

You've seen every screenshot, watched every movie, pre-ordered and camped out to get a hold of the game on day one, frantically ripped off the wrapping, shoved it into your machine of choice and then... disappointmenton. Here's how we felt, what about you folks?
