Just a friendly note to remind you that Aliens: Colonial Marines’ last DLC, Stasis Interrupted, is now available for download on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC (European PS3 users will get it tomorrow).
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.

What pains me most about this game isn't the fact that the graphics were weak or the gameplay and story were poor. It's the fact that the game didn't include a mode where you were tasked with escaping a maze-like ship as a lone survivor, with no weapons other than those you could find, knowing that there was a single alien somewhere aboard... That would have made for a first-class mode.
