You know, I really thought that with games like Skyrim and Dark Souls, we'd be seeing a lot fewer space marines coming into 2012. I should've realized that any year with a Halo release will have its fair share of warriors in space.

Video Blips:

• Mass Effect 3's multiplayer is looking like a promising and entertaining option for those who want to take a break from the main game. Let's be serious, though — once we're bored of that, we're going to want some Mass Effect Wars. Amirite?

Hit the break to get your dose of space in Aliens: Colonial Marines, uninspired cosplay for Soul Calibur 5, and pre-game excitement for Super Bowl XLVI in Madden NFL 12.

• In Aliens: Colonial Marines, nobody can hear your scream. Unfortunately, I'm sure Gearbox heard all of their fans when they pushed back the game's release date to Fall 2012.

• Soul Calibur 5 amps us up for its launch with…cosplayers? I mean, I guess, right? The one with the whip — she's Ivy. Yep…Ivy has a whip. I still get more enjoyment from this cosplayer.

• So who's ready for Super Bowl XLVI? Well, for those who can't wait, Madden NFL 12 simulates the possible winner for the upcoming game. That's a pretty epic last two minutes I must say. I hope the real Super Bowl will have an equally spectacular ending!
