After all of the pre-E3 viral marketing done by Sega and Gearbox Software, we were curious as to what Aliens: Colonial Marines would even be. All we really knew was that Gearbox was making it, and they tend to do projects right. Zach Ford, Producer on Colonial Marines, took us through a demo of a level which was designed to show off what the game is all about.
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.
Maybe it was just because I hadn't heard anything in a long while about it.
