Gearbox have let themselves and us down. By showing us a completely different product at E3 to the one we're playing now, they have betrayed the trust of gamers everywhere. A few movie references can't make up for a shoddy campaign and half-assed multipl...
Abstract: CommentIf you haven’t heard by now, Aliens: Colonial Marines is not a good game. I’m not of the mind that it’s complete garbage, I think there’s a handful of redeeming qualities, but its inability to capture the Aliens universe, combined with some real...

Authentic locations from the movie, All the classic Aliens weapons, Half-decent multiplayer options
Dated graphics, Mediocre FPS gameplay, Packed with bugs and glitches
