Alien is one of the few franchises that seems destined to be a video game hit.
Dead Space more or less fills that empty void but those games lack the iconic Xenomorph and the universe that surrounds sci-fi’s greatest predators. This is where Aliens: Colonial Marines comes in. Early gameplay demos showcased potential that could maybe finally make good on the almost intangible hope of a worthy Aliens game. Tense shootouts and pretty visuals showed what a development team like Gearbox could do with such a revered franchise. What could go wrong? Almost everything.
