Aliens Colonial Marines v2
Now that’s more like it. Gearbox unveiled today that a new update for the PC version of Aliens: Colonial Marines is now available and that it weights around 4GB in size. Yeap, you read that right. 4GB in size and is available as we speak. Gearbox has also released the changelog of this huge update, revealing that the enemy and friendly AI has been tweaked in order to be more aggressive and responsive. Hell bloody yeah. You can view the complete changelog below, so go ahead and take a look. The only downside is that Gearbox introduced a film grain filter that cannot be disabled.

Tomb Raider – PC Performance Analysis

Tomb Raider v2
Nvidia has finally released a new beta driver for Tomb Raider, so it’s time to see how this title performs on the PC platform. The PC version of Tomb Raider was developed by Nixxes, the same studio that was behind Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Hitman: Absolution. DE:HR suffered from some minor stuttering issues, but was – generally speaking – an amazing PC version of a multi-platform game. Hitman: Absolution, on the other hand, suffered from optimization issues. Not only that, but some graphical effects of Hitman: Absolution were calculated by the CPU instead of the GPU. Truth be told, we were a bit worried about this whole thing and it appears that Tomb Raider also suffers from various optimization issues (though this time around, the CPU is not calculating any graphical effect).

Halo 3 Appears In The Latest AMD Catalyst 13.3 Profiles

Halo Reach
Now that’s a big surprise. We all thought that Halo 3’s appearance in Steam’ registry was a big mistake, however there might be something going on in the background. After all, Microsoft’s title has just appeared in the latest profiles of AMD’s Catalyst drivers, suggesting that a release might be closer than we think. Spotted by our reader Sid Spyker Sabin Figaro (and thanks to Guru3D’s user kn00tcn), this profile was added to AMD’s Catalyst 13.3 Beta drivers.

Tomb Raider Was Originally Titled As Tomb Raider: Ascension, Featured Demons & Giants, Artworks Leak

Tomb Raider
We seriously love this kind of leaks. DevianArt’s Tomb-Raider-Empire has leaked some interesting artworks and a video from an early build of the newly released Tomb Raider game, showcasing some of the enemies and abilities of Lara’s that were not included in the final build. According to the artworks and the leaked video, the new Tomb Raider game was originally meant to be called Tomb Raider: Ascension, featured demons and giants similar to those of Shadows of Colossus, and Lara could horseback-ride during a mission. Moreover, a little girl was meant to be included as a gameplay companion, and there was a flamethrower as one of Lara’s weapons. Sounds closer to a Resident Evil/Shadow of Colossus mix than what we got, right? Kudos to NeoGAF user ‘Larson Conway’ for spotting it. In other news, our Performance Analysis will go live tomorrow so stay tuned for it!
