  • This looks good... wait how did those other games based on this do
  • The game looks fun, but I'm not interested.
  • I'd like to see Visceral take a run at the Aliens brand!
  • My body is ready...to be attacked by xenos!

    Will be getting the collector's edition for this one.

  • Lookin gooooood
  • Mod
    Let's hope this game leans more towards Borderlands 2 and away from Duke Nukem in terms of quality. I'm a huge fan of the original two movies, and have wanted a good Aliens game for a reeally long time.
  • Sign me up!
  • awesome and interesting game. but, im gonna pass on this.
  • Is there a Newt Mode, where I can hide in the air ducts?
  • Mod

    Can't watch the vid now but hoping it went well. Love the franchise but skeptical about a game, though the multiplayer demo at E3 looked good. In the meantime, I'll play XCOM. ;)

  • It's looking pretty fun. Hope it's good enough to get me off Crysis 3 every now and again.
  • Want. Want baldy and want hard.
  • Looks interesting. will keep an eye out.

  • Jeff Cork had a weird look in his eyes, he's definitely going to kill Tim in the game as soon as he can.
  • Is that a custom built GI arcade machine behind Tim?

    Sweet.

    Can't wait for the game.
  • Cannot wait for this game <3 It is my second most anticipated game of February.

  • I Have some questions about multiplayer. Is there friendly fire? I think it would be handy for Xenos to get Marines to unintentionally shoot each other. And two, are the number of players on each team evenly split? It looked like the video showed 4v4.
  • RPS does a much better job describing the single player (disappointing), but also said the multiplayer as the Aliens is particularly interesting.

  • I love the movies now I just need a game I can get behind. If it does see the light of day I will without a doubt purchase it.
