First announced in 2006, briefly back in 2008 with a title, it is truly in 2011 that Aliens: Colonial Marines started its long and slow journey to get to our consoles and PC. After playing the first 5 missions of the game, we can say that it is pretty disappointing in most areas, even when you are a big fan. Visually dated, plagued with clunky controls (auto-aim can't be turned off and it's still almost impossible to aim correctly when using iron sight) and very poor weapon feedback, the list goes on and on. That being said, it's not the kind of game you'll stop playing once you've started it, well if you're not the demanding type that is. All in all, it is a rather mediocre title you should only play if you don't pay it full price.

So this isn't a good action-horror game? Any scary moments? Should they have adapted Alien (enclosed horror like Dead Space 1) instead of Aliens (military action-horror)?

"In space no one can hear you scream" but in front of your console or Pc they can hear your screams of pain because of the BS.
Strange company. They can do great games, but they are not ashamed to release crap even when they know it's crap.
They are known for porting Halo 1 to PC and then what? some overhyped cartoon graphics fps bad imitation of Fallout?
I called it into question why they did not hire the developer that was already experienced with this type of franchise... and now its just unfortunate that despite "easy to dev for" and "7 to 8 year old mature console platforms" and their own self hype (go back and look/read at all the stuff they were bragging about) the game comes out as a Gearbox fail... I am disappointed.

Moral of the story, they should have just made the fucking thing themselves.
Sucks, I was looking forward to this game... guess I will check out the last Alien VS Predator game again or try and play the old 2000s games. again.
