Some retailers have started shipping Aliens: Colonial Marines early, consequently a lot of video walkthroughs have started appearing online over the past few hours, including some live streams of the single player campaign. If you don’t mind spoilers and would like to take an early look at the game, you can check out this thread.
Additionally, some initial fan reviews can be found here. Aliens: Colonial Marines launches February 12th on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
Update: Full walkthrough videos can now be found on the thread linked above.

Me and my friend did this with the comedy of the game's errors in mind (I've played through the game once, he hasn't). This is merely part one; we've recorded the whole way through. One the second mission we gain one more player, a friend of ours, and he sticks with us for the rest of the journey. My friend did the recording, which is why he comes through much clearer; I'm being picked up over Xbox Live. It only really dips when in cutscenes, but that's fine. After a while, it all kinda blends together. It would be awesome to give my friend a Subscription; he's finding a feel for the videos and aims to do some of the more popular FPS games; he's begun a FarCry 3 compilation as well. Again-- more subscriptions would really make him (and me) happeh to release more content. There's some really quite funny stuff to be seen...
Funnily enough, the last AVP game is better than this.
And I say this as someone who doesn't particularly love Predator, and sure as shit doesn't like them anywhere near my Aliens.
Yea, thanks though. I was at it for hours trying to figure it out.
Theres no hitboxes, just shoot centre mass.
tried that but not with a shotgun. That should have been a no brainer. Thanks.
Double Tap: Kill 2 enemies that are stunned in a campaign mission
Do i heave to kill them at the same time while they are stunned? I've tried shooting enemies legs so they fall then i finish them off but it doesn't count. I must be missing something.
Agreed, although I'm not someone has is fed up with how the Alien franchise can't be taken in a good direction anymore, I don't think I'm that old, or that passionate about it to be in that mindset.
I will end up buying this game, but I'm not going to give any money to Gearbox and such, I'm planning on buying this game used and for cheap...that way, I'm just supporting my local retailer instead of a developer and publisher that clearly had no idea what they were doing. This is the first time I have ever done this willingly right off the bat.
Just joined though I've been lurking Alien related sites for ages. This comment sums up how I feel about the whole thing, though my issue is particular to canon and treatment of the story.
I read your comment as someone thats intimately fed up with how every f**kin bastard that gets thier hands on this franchise just trashes it - 30yrs and it STILL takes Ridley to give it any credibility at all. I mean seriously. Watchin Alien as I type this, Ash just got his ass handed to him & god but I still can't stand Lambert.
Anyway, fuk this fanboy rant of a wannabe game. Just like Cameron, in one fell swoop Gearbox have screwed with 30 yrs of enjoyment. Anyone that gets this game is just supporting bad behaviour, though I hope people make up thier own minds
I don't know the exact feeling you get when you play the game but one of the videos the boiler's seem to get screwed up when they awaken from slumber. I'm not sure if this is a console thing but i sure hope this glitch doesn't happen on PC.
I just f**king saw it...holy shit...that was...wow... f**k this game.
To be honest, I think that huge alien's design is pretty neat - especially compared with the other crap we've seen.. spitters and crushers and the like.
Thats a serious issue.

The Lurker is the best designed enemy in the game, bar-none. It actually feels like an Alien (aside from it's constantly give-away heavy breathing) and having to hunt for it creates a tense moment. This is probably the best example of its behavior I've seen so far, particularly impressed at how it tries to attack primarily from behind and then flees when you turn.
After seeing the god-awful waves of endless mood-murdering moronic Wey-Yu mercs and congo-line Alien warriors, this is a breath of fresh air.
This walkthrough is the best one imo, although its irritating when he dosent know what to do when its painfully obvious. The length of the campaign looks to be about average, not to short and not to long.
My system is telling me there's malware there, which is weird because it's youtube...
...But the thread is about playing through the game. Don't want spoilers? Don't come in here.
True, but 99% of this board does not have the game.
This entire topic is one big spoiler, the hint is in the title.
Yeah, I kind of liked the look of that part of the game myself.
Here is a link to the derelict walkthrough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR5bO3JhmrI#ws
Spoiler
That part of the game actually looked tense (that and the run through the vents with the aliens bursting out of the ceilings...why didn't they chase after Winter though?) All the white, crouching dead xenomorphs made for a creepy setting.
All the rushing is too be expected, these players aren't the biggest ALIENS fans it would seem.
Can you provide a link to the derelict gameplay?
