Not a whole hell of a lot is known about the tactical squad based shooter, being brought to us courtesy of Gearbox and Sega. The licensed FPS, Aliens: Colonial Marines, was revealed in older issue of Game Informer, and then rather dropped off the radar until reappearing in UK's OXM.
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.
This game will crap on halo 3 even the co-op cant wait to kick some aliens butt :)
i hope theres a limited edition for this game
that i wouldn't mind playing on a 360 although its coming to ps3 too :) ... so im good i already got the ps3 anyway
this is good. I am a big Alien fan and would love for a next-gen shooter to do the franchise some justice.
I Loved the aliens movies (Alien and Aliens) and was quite a fan, though I felt things went down hill with the third movie, and the AVP movies where dire.
I just hope they don't balls it up and we finally get that Aliens game that actually isn't terrible.
