GR:Know this: In the absolute worst case scenario, Aliens: Colonial Marines is shaping up to be the most authentic adaptation you could want. It’s not just about how the game looks, though its visuals convince at every turn. The bleak, charcoal-grey hell of LV-426’s surface is just as twisted and imposing as it should be, wailing wind and simmering lava evoking a harsh environment as dead as it is deadly. And the dank, dripping, ambiguous corners of the Hadley’s Hope complex are more than likely to make you jump at the sight of a curling, tail-like power cable dangling in the shadows.
Too many games aren't given a second shot. We at VGU choose which games we would love to see receive a sequel.
