Exciting news -- Aliens: Colonial Marines has gone gold on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360!
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.
I want this game, and still not release date for Wii U. I don't want to pick this up on PS3, but if the release date is too far off from the PS3 version I might. UGGGG....
Gearbox was behind duke nukem and that was hyped and ended up trash so i hope this doesnt end up that way because i want a good alien game. Previewers had good and bad to say, but i dont like that it is said the aliens are like sponges and the character animations suck and feel stiff. another negative ive heard is that although back drops are beautiful they are shiny and look fake.
I definitely wanna pick this up for pc
Any idea when the Wii U version will be released?
Several issue i have here with both the title of this article and the game itself.
1. the title is miss leading. Stating that the game has gone gold will make some ppl belive that it has been reviewed (by a games reviewer not the manufactor) and given said gold rating! i.e.(9/10, 90%, etc, etc).
2. Given the fact that this game has been past from pillar to post, from one team to another, then another, for more than 5yrs now, i am skecptical about how well this game will actually be.
But that said, i do live in hope that it will be at least be a half enjoyable co-op game.
