[Why do we hate aliens? It's not because they attach themselves to our faces against our will, or that they kill whomever they make their "Mother" by exploding forth from behind the ribcage. (Which is not cool by-the-way) Or because as rebellious five-minute old-ers they try murder your face with their little mouth inside the big mouth trick. It's not even that they skewer us with their pointy tails. No, because acid blood is cheating]-->
Aliens: Colonial Marines is a title most are familiar with, familiar with in the Duke Nukem kinda way.
By that I mean, we've been hearing about this specific Aliens title for a very long time. It's changed publishers more often that a One Dollar Bill at the fair's game booths. Some teaser poster, or cryptic trailer would appear every year or so and it'd vanish as fast as it showed up. Then, one day, Game Informer plasters this game on it's cover issue and.... it goes away again; but unlike the many before, G.I.'s cover-story resurfaces from the dark to explain that the Alines are coming, and their pissed it took this long. I've seen an Aliens title or two, and I'd normally shrug off the idea of someone seriously trying to make another Aliens game. But once I saw that Gearbox was involved, working hand in hand it Sega I got excited. Gearbox is what hooked me. With them I knew there'd be something to this title. You may remember the Dallas TX based developer. They made Borderlands. So knowing their involved put as mile on my face.
So there may be blood left in this [Still yet to come] title. Even if that blood is acid and will melt your face off Raiders of the Lost Ark style.
Below is a nice gameplay trailer. It keep the pressure on with that little motion tracker "Blip"ing through out the whole thing.
OK, that's it. Post over. Get walk'n, and to help with that. I have a bonus "Keep On Walking" video to get you going with at pep in your step.
Later!

First, Aliens? Really? When that movie first came out...It scared me really bad. I had bad dreams from that movie. That was the scariest movie EVER! I cannot imagine a video game! I suppose getting to kill the little @#$%^ is good revenge!
ReplyDeleteSecond, who would have guessed you could make a video about the backside of so many clips from so many different movies. Interesting.
Good blog, Fox!
