Bugger... Another play-as-a-human-running-around-with-guns approach.

Might be atmospherically good, though.

Have it be like the original Alien movie with no real way to fight back against the xeno.

[Blacklabel]

I'd prefer it to be varied. with 2 long campaign modes from Alien and human perspectives. Have lots of characters be playable. Some segments are unarmed and you just have to use your wits and whatever the character can find, other times you would have a solid trusty pulse rifle... but you too would be on the run. Make it very survival horror based... no run and gun shooter, plz

Alien campaign should be mostly stealth based.. but still fast and lethal

Aliens: Colonial marines just lost a good opportunity to make us play as the alien that popped out of Newt's dad. 

[Cal427eb]

YES to all of the above statements. Now, that would be a game that would be fun to play, but I'm not sure who I would give it to, to develop the game.

[Blacklabel]

I'm surprised at the amount of Alien games that dont feature the harpoon from Alien.

..you just have 1 shot And you gotta use it right.

[Xenomorphine]

If it's survival-horror, I doubt we'll be seeing an Alien campaign, unfortunately. Which disappoints me, because I get games for escapism and that means wanting to feel empowered, not hunted.

They might remember that splashing corrosives around a spaceship's hull would be a bad idea, though.

Fond memories of the AVP2 campaigns

Dat atmosphere in the first sections of the marine story.... Finding the skinned corpses... the sense of dread and the amount of time till we see a single alien.  :p

EGM - 9/10

Sorry someone already posted it

The review page comment section got closed. I guess they noticed lots of backlash. The site should be shut down and discounted from metacritic for good.


OMG, this person might as well have shown a video of a f**kton of cash being handed to EGM for this review, f**king insane. I used to love EGM so much, and I was so happy when they came back after being shut down...now, I can't even bother to care. Gamespot did the same with that whole Kane and Lynch debacle, all credibility f**king lost forever in my eyes.

I guess Microsoft didn't pay them that one day, because they gave Halo 4 only a 7/10. Yet CM gets a 9/10. Just wow.

[VonPelz]

Angry Joe's review is quite disheartening, although he does manage to find a few good things about the game. Final score 4/10.

Ironically he had posted a "top 10 reasons why A:CM will kick ass" video a couple of weeks before release.

What?! Only 3...THREE Aliens focused missions?

i enjoyed that review - probs more exciting than the game hes reviewing.

[Xenomorphine]

Heh! That's been the first video of his for a while where the little comedy sketch at the start made me laugh.

Waiting for Yahtzee's review for the giggles...

[Valaquen]

Waiting for Yahtzee's review for the giggles...

I hope he does one, soon
