For those of you that bought Aliens: Colonial Marines and have enjoyed the multiplayer (as I have), I thought I would throw together a list of tips. When first entering the world of the Aliens multiplayer, you may feel like, no matter which side you’re playing as, you’re getting decimated. You probably are and for good reason, especially when playing as a Xeno. Playing as a Xeno can be tricky. Which class is best for my play style, which upgrades are best and...
Aliens: Colonial Marines is Gearbox’s video game sequel to Aliens. Gearbox has stated that the game is canon and if done right, Aliens 3 would be a better movie. I don’t think that happened at all. Even worse, I think Alien 3 had a better story… I know, right! As the game begins, I was greeted with the most-screen-tearing-in-a-game-ever-award, cinematic scene. I arrived at the Sulaco in response to a distress call by Corporal Hicks. Obviously, the Sulaco is...
My bad y’all. I was so busy with getting ready for PAX (I swear I wasn’t being lazy, maybe a little) that I totally didn’t post the dev diaries 2 and 3 for Aliens: Colonial Marines. My bad, but I did a preview of what I saw at PAX Prime 2012 here. In the 2nd installment of the dev diaries, the Gearbox team talks about Xenos vs Marines. They go into what makes each side dangerous and also give their opinion on the best weapon in the game. Enjoy! The 3rd...
In the first diary the Gearbox team speaks on how they were focused on the getting the Xenomorphs, just right. In the 2nd installment of the dev diaries, the Gearbox team talks about Xenos vs Marines. They go into what makes each side dangerous and also give their opinion on the best weapon in the game. Enjoy! The 3rd dev diary focuses on the environments and places you’ll encounter and traverse through in Aliens: Colonial Marines. From the Sulaco to Hadley’s...
I have seen a live demo of the solo campaign at PAX East and even had the opportunity to play some team DM as well. At PAX Prime 2012, four of us from LevelSave had the chance to check out Aliens: Colonial Marines newly announced game mode, Escape. Many of us enjoy multiplayer in a great shooter. If you’re anything like me though, unless the mechanics of the game itself are somewhat unique, you get bored very quickly. So upon hearing we were being given the opportunity...
This may be the game I am most excited for, it doesn’t come out till next year, but damn. I’m excited. After getting my hands on it at PAX East, my skepticism was thoroughly removed and I await the final product with anticipation. Now after seeing this Dev Diary video, still excited. Aliens: Colonial Marines releases on PC, PS3 and the Xbox 360 Feb 12th, 2013

Brad Beach and myself attended PAX East 2012 and there were only a handful of games we felt we had to check out, Aliens: Colonial Marines was one of those games. We were shuffled through back door into a small, dark room with two TVs on the wall and thankfully a comfy floor, as we were exhausted. We were presented with a live solo demo of Aliens: CM and also told that if Gearbox did their job correctly that even “Alien 3 would be a better movie,” as this game...
