GP writer Brittany Vincent reviews Aliens: Colonial Marines on Xbox 360.
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 miss the good ol' days, when licensed games were actually good. Good times...
It's a shame Alien fans didn't get a great game from Gearbox, but at least they have a whole library of other titles to fall back on until another one comes :).
4gb patch just came out! Woot woot!
No amount if patching is going to fix this I'm afraid.
With all the bashing this game has received, I'm pretty ashamed to admit I actually like this game and enjoy especially the multiplayer proportion of the game.
