The first wave were decent. They took the effort to mix survival horror and action aspects. Then '
Earth War' kicked in and things went really weird, before a brief respite around the time of that John Bolton comic where the marooned village colony was sacrificing a cloned baby per day to appease the beast threatening them. Then they went strange, again.
There was also an early two-parter which had the art done by Denis Beauvais. Very action-focused (mostly as a result of it originally being published by Dark Horse somewhere as a single page per issue), but had some good atmospheric horror in it. Not '
Book 2', something else. It followed a small group of three Colonial Marines trying to evacuate from an over-run colony.
Same thing with the '
Aliens Versus Predator' comics. The first began as something you could imagine being easily adaptable into a film version, then the sequels just veered off into lots of superficiality and craziness.

They also did Borderlands, which is critically acclaimed. Duke Nukem wasn't much more than a fan service/fanboy project. I wouldn't gauge their abilities by that one game.
No, but Pitchford did proclaim the latest sequel to be just like '
Half-Life 2', with not a single note of irony.
