Would you like a serious assault rifle with motion detector? Perhaps an awesome infrared vision with laser, wrist-blades, and invisible cloak. Or do you prefer the sharp claws, spear tail, and the ability to walk on walls? Doesn’t matter because it’s all awesomeness. Humans, Aliens, and Predators all together, one big family reunion of gun shots and guttings.
Aliens: Colonial Marines was announced first, not that Alien vs. Predator game! I want Colonial Marines NOW! (Please do not take that last statement out of context…….)
If you have been patiently waiting for Gearbox Software’s Aliens: Colonial Marines like I have, then prepare to wait even longer. First announced back in February of 2008, its taken quite awhile to get the alien hatchlings ready to attach to your face. Not to worry though, Colonial Marines won’t be the only Alien themed game set to come out in 2010. The other (Alien vs. Predator) game will also of course feature Aliens, Marines, and even Predators; Oh my!
Aliens vs Predator is much like cowbell. We have to have more of it. The recent movies were just alright and there really has not been a good AvP game in a long, long time. This looks like it could change all of that. My only hope is that the characters will be balanced. Space Marines stand zero chance against either hunter. I hope that they have some powerful weapons or it is going to over real quick for anyone playing as a Marine.
The Aliens vs Predator concept has more potential than all the attempted crossover ideas I have seen. So far, no one has figured out how to harness said potential into a decent product. Outside of some decent at the very best movies and 16 bit games, this franchise is just waiting to explode. We have been blessed with AvP. As long as the weight the classes evenly and they promise an even campaign for all three, this could be awesome.
Coming Soon!
