Gareth at Skewed and Reviewed has posted a review of the new Aliens: Colonial Marines. He cites the linear gameplay and character animation as issues with the game nbut things that the game has been the subject of some unfair venom.
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 had this sent to me today. Great video that shows the changes in looks from the demo to final that have some people furious.

LOL no. Not true.
Gearbox are just an average developer , they got lucky by messing with Borderlands graphics cause im pretty sure everyone knows how the graphics were before it changed
Thats an interesting point. Borderlands were big hits and great games no questions. But the rest has been a mixed bag of late.
