'It’s fair to say that the Alien franchise has had a tough time of late. Pushed to breaking point by countless ill-judged cinematic spin-offs, before being ultimately undermined by Ridley Scott’s Prometheus.
The theory was then, that by taking us back to Hadley’s Hope – the ill-fated colony of James Cameron’s Aliens – the series might be returned to its former glories. Alas, that’s far from the case.'
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.
