In 2008, Sega and Gearbox Software announced that they obtained the rights to develop a game based on the movie franchise, Alien, which was set to be major project for the company and would finally be the chance for fans to see just what could happen when a premier studio takes on the series. Now, after numerous delays and countless questions regarding its production status, Aliens: Colonial Marines is finally here, and only one question remains to be asked – What the hell happened?
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! Great review of a terrible game.
Poor Dan had to review this? Sorry dude.
Why Gearbox, why?!!
gearbox scammed people,
They were all like, 2K publishes our Borderlands games, SEGA will just get what they're given and that's that.
