CheatCC says - It's no secret that the Aliens franchise has taken a little bit of a beating lately. With some pretty lackluster game offerings and poor box office showings, the Xenomorph form has become more of a punch line in recent years than a scary reminder of a truly great horror franchise. However, Aliens: Colonial Marines may be the game to change that.
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.
I got to see the gameplay in action and this is going to be a great game. Reminds me of Doom 3 in the way the lighting is used and the gameplay style.
