Lost Planet: Colonies Officially Revealed!
Officially titled Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition, Colonies is not the sequel or prequel many, including myself, were hoping for. It's more of a greatest hits edition of the original game. Thankfully, there's a good amount of new content added in.
First off are three new modes: Score Attack, Trial Battle Mode, and Off Limit Mode. Score Attack assigns enemies and destructible objects with point values. Players also earn varying points in their method of defeating enemies. Trial Battle Mode is essentially boss battle mode, with the player trying to kill all of the game's bosses n sequence as fast as possible. Off limit Mode sounds like the most fun to me. It's a lot like a god mode, giving players super-powered weapons with unlimited ammo and increased movement speed in an all-out firefight. All of the new PS3 content will be included as well (Luka as a playable character, new side missions, and extra maps).
Of course multiplayer is getting a nice beef-up too with a bunch of new modes. There's Akrid Hunter, VS Annihilator, CounterGrab, Point Snatcher, Akrid Egg Battle, and and Egg Bandit. Akrid Hunter puts one player in the role of a huge Akrid, and the other players are tasked with killing him. VS Annihilator is like CTF, with each team trying to destroy the other's VS. CounterGrab is a lot like King of the Hill. Point Snatcher is basically a deathmatch where the player with the most T-Energy at the end wins. Akrid Egg Battle has each team stealing the other's eggs. Egg Bandit is like a King of the Hill with these eggs. Of course there will also be new maps and weapons as well.
There are some new environments and new perspectives-first-person and over-the-shoulder like Resident Evil 4. Unfortunately, you can't bring your saves from the original Lost Planet. Of course there's tons of new achievements as well. Oh and did I mention the budget $30 price tag. With a price like the and all of the new content, this is one game I'm seriously considering buying when it comes out on December 15.

The price tag seems to fit, doesn't sound as if they polished it very well.
