They're Baaack! Aliens: Colonial Marines returns to LV-426 in early 2012

Take a glimpse at the trailer on PX 360 for the game that was announced, delayed, announced again, postponed 'indefinitely', announced, delayed and now announced (finally, we hope) for the last time.  The good news is that 'Colonial Marines' gets an E3 trailer this time around and that's usually pretty definitive.  The story always looks fairly unchanged too (which is good) - you join a bad of marines sent to investigate the disappearance of the original team and crew of the 'Sulaco.'   If we know anything about Aliens canon, it's that the military (and everyone else) were usually kept in the dark.  Obviously, upper echelons of the military under the guidance of Weyland-Yutani Corp. knew exactly what happened to Ripley, Bishop and the rest - but we can presume that no one bothers to tell the Colonial Marines; and they want answers...and payback.  Aliens: Colonial Marines centres around a new, original story that follows a second 'airborne' unit who return to LV-426 to find out exactly what happened to the colonists and the team that was sent to rescue them.  Bring on the bug hunt!

  1. i was well miffed off when Sega postponed the development of this so they could bring out the failure that was AVP. then Gearbox put it on the back burner for Duke (i ain't complaining about that one) this is excellent news and i hope it gets a release date for around the same time as Ridley Scott's Prometheus

  2. We all were - although I'm glad that finished Duke.
