The Guardian, very very possitive

Boom! Great review. Doesn't tell us much we didn't already know though.

Wow, lots of mixed reviews.

I'm willing to bet good money that the review score will fall between 1 - 10.

^ Anyway, this guy called it. 

[robbritton]

Far be it from me to suggest that the Guardian have form with this sort of thing... http://www.theguardian.com/technology/gamesblog/2013/feb/12/alien-colonial-marines-game-review

[That Yellow Alien]

Looks like the main criticism is that is really hard, and depending on how much that bothers you determines your enjoyment.

[Darkness]

Seems like most of the reviews are complaining about the length and numerous faux-endings.

Disappointing though.

[Corporal Hicks]

Looks like the main criticism is that is really hard, and depending on how much that bothers you determines your enjoyment.

Yeah - certainly seems to be the case.

I'm more disappointed that the story seems a rehash.

[reecebomb]

Lol at the ign review, unpredictale alien ai wtf, but i never took ign seriously. Luckily there are plenty positive reviews coming and coming, much better than Colonial Marines yet divisive. Im sure i will enjoy this one. I hope that the game sells shitloads, so we can expect alien games in the future.
