i actually like the box art quite alot! i would have just LOVED movie licence to be extended to the squad members. ie being able to play as hicks, hudson, vasquez, drake etc etc. i know they died in the film and it would be terrible continuity-wise. But in an ideal world it would go towards making me a happy man lol

Maybe they'll have obvious "not so obvious" playable characters in some sort of side story mode that are similar like "Ricks", "Huston", "Ramirez", "Blake", "Gordon", "Verro" and "Helen Risley" with some evil dork named "Connor Lurke"? hahaha... that would be sweet!

Good use of white space in my opinion.

Brings forward the extra details of the xeno's head. I also think the head stands out a little more on white than it would on a black back ground.

I completely agree. After experimenting with making the background black myself, I came to the same conclusion. The profile of the alien is harder to make out on a black background, and the focal point of the marines in the middle is lost.

The characters on the cover are ridiculous. Randy, among others who have tried to portray the colonial marines after Cameron always seem to get the whole thing wrong. I see Aliens as cyberpunk, with punk characters. Cigarrette between the teeth they fix a sentry gun. They look marines but upon closer inspection they are not, it's just a way to put butter on the bread. The identity of the characters isn't stereotypically tied to their employer. So my point is that Randy among many have the same interpretation of the marines we all already know, but it's wrong and shallow. Cameron loves cyberpunk, u can see the load and trouble his characters carry on their soldiers, under their uniforms. Its a tough world, corrupted society. They're punks.
