Aliens: Colonial Marines review | Thunderbolt

Richard Wakeling, Thunderbolt:
Aliens: Colonial Marines has been a long time coming. After suffering through development hell for a number of years and eventually cancellation, Gearbox Software leaped into action and took the reins to finally see this troubled product through to completion. A few years and numerous delays later it’s finally available to play, aping the similar path Duke Nukem: Forever took to release. Unfortunately, however, the similarities between the two games don’t end there; the lengthy development culminating in another disappointment that, unlike DNF, is bereft of any creativity or redeeming qualities. It’s been a tough road to get here, but Colonial Marines is a bad game no matter how you look at it.

The sad thing is that this game might sell really well all thanks to Gearboxes false advertising. Lol a "work in progress" video from more than a year ago looks better than the final product xD If I bought the game I would try to get my money back.

The article lists Bulletstorm, Sleeping Dogs, and Aliens: Colonial Marines.

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.

I still play AvP on PS3 to this day. That game had fun multiplayer too.
