James Gallagher of the PlayStation Blog writes: I checked out Aliens: Colonial Marines when I popped over to the SEGA gamescom booth to say hi to a friend and, within minutes, it became one my highlights of the show. I’m not as familiar with the Aliens films as many – I remember seeing one of them on TV as a child and not sleeping well for a few days – but judging it purely as a shooter, it is looking very impressive.
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.
they should add an multiplayer survival mode, that would be fun as hell!
anyway hurry up and get this out, my PS3 is waiting like an alien waiting to erupt out of the body!
We're in the pipe. Five by five.
Wait - 11 months after the events of Aliens? Either this guy is misinformed or Gearbox is taking some huge liberties with the cannon. The atmospheric processor went nuclear at the end of the movie. Hadley's Hope was swallowed up by a mushroom cloud. So how can a rescue mission go back to the same place?
