Much to the delight of science fiction and alien fans around the world, Sega revealed back in 2006 that it would publish a Gearbox-developed Alien game based on the Twentieth Century Fox movies.
At this year's GDC, GameTap caught up with Gearbox president Randy Pitchford, who provided a little deeper look into that game, Aliens: Colonial Marines. Due to hit PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 in 2009, Aliens: Colonial Marines is a first-person, squad-based shooter that takes place before, during, and after the second film, Aliens, and is a wholly original game that incorporates some changes into the Alien universe.
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.

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.
