Splitkick: Don’t buy Aliens: Colonial Marines. It’s bad and boring. Perhaps a victim of licensing or maybe problems between the four different developers that touched it, Aliens: Colonial Marines isn’t a game worth your money or time. It’s junk, through and through.
Too many games aren't given a second shot. We at VGU choose which games we would love to see receive a sequel.
The Saboteur - criminally underrated and a fantastic mechanic of bringing colour back to Nazi-occupied Paris.
The article lists Bulletstorm, Sleeping Dogs, and Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Player 2 takes some quiet time to look back at some of the most hyped failures of the past 10 years.
Can't argue with any of those really, but I would add Resident Evil Operation Racoon City and Metal Gear Survive to that list. Both terrible games from good franchises.
Bulletstorm, I actually liked the gameplay but the atrocious writing and characters made me despise the game by the end of it.
Thanks to a bustling mod community on Steam, Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines actually has a stellar multiplayer experience to offer these days.
Ouch.
The game is just dreadful nothing more nothing less
Perfect score for a perfectly horrible game!!
Is this game really that bad?
I don't know about 2/10 bad, but it's certainly not great.
