"In 1994, Justin Fisher created Aliens TC for Doom. I remember being completely blown away by the atmosphere and being completely enthralled with the gameplay. I know that’s a lot of pressure to put on Aliens: Colonial Marines, released today on all major platforms, but there we are. Honestly, I’m still not sure if it manages to live up to those heady days on my old 386/25…"
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.
