"After a number of delays and a few greatly exaggerated reports, Aliens: Colonial Marines has arrived here in 2012 representing Gearbox Software’s attempt at breathing life and death into a virtual, interactive world dripping with the atmosphere, action, horror and themes prevalent in Alien.
With this latest endeavour, have franchise fans finally been given a game worthy of this world, or has it now become clear that this universe is a treacherous siren song for game developers?"
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.
