In Aliens vs. Predator, players will have the chance to take the role of the three infamous species: the Colonial Marine, the Predator and the Alien. Each of the three species has its very own distinct story-driven, single-player campaign mode that interweaves with the campaigns of the other two species.
Earlier this month SEGA revealed a demo would be released pre-launch, and now
the good word is that it is scheduled for this week, but whether this will also be on PC was not specified.

Well, that was no fun. Our Internet connection has been down for hours, and a few earlier attempts to reset the link were futile, as it died again mere seconds later.
No Internet meant we had no distractions so we caught up on our TV watching. We made a good dent in our weekly backlog, as we managed to see Bones, Castle, Chuck, Heroes, Human Target, NCIS and started on Supernatural, but the Force was too strong and we dozed off. Nap time!
Tomorrow, we have a few errands to run, and maybe check out the Australian Open finale, but then we can get right back to being couch potatoes and finishing off whatever's left on the DVR.

No big plans for the weekend, except to run some errands and watch movies/TV. Perfect!
We got our shady DVR replaced, so let's hope there are no more hiccups. We pretty much filled it up with shows from the past week, so we should be able to tell if it has issues. We might see a movie on Sunday, either When in Rome or The Book of Eli, but it all depends how lazy we get.
