GodisaGeek: "It would be easy to write an incredibly long “What’s Wrong with Aliens: Colonial Marines” piece, simply listing its faults. Indeed, such is the catalogue of horrors that mar Gearbox’s sci-fi shooter that many reviews read as exactly that. But is it really that bad? I don’t think so (and for a broad strokes opinion you can read my review here); in fact, I think the issues with Colonial Marines can be boiled down to just three key areas – the problem is, they just happen to be vital to a licensed FPS such as this."
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.
Everything....
