RAD Episode 281 – Aliens: Colonial Marines, 6.6 out of 10 based on 11 ratings

“My mommy always said there were no monsters – no real ones – but there are.”
-Newt
I don’t think I could have picked a better opening quote to start this review of Aliens: Colonial Marines off with. We have waited years for this game and in today’s RAD we get right down to it with a man who loves the Alien franchise as much as he loves video games. The stage is set for this game with its creditability as the official canonical sequel to Aliens and a developer who created Borderlands… what could possibly go wrong?
Birdman sets down on LV-426 on company orders to go find out whats going on… What happens to Birdman when all is said and done? We will leave you with this quote and let you decide where this all ends..
“You better just start dealing with it, Hudson! Listen to me! Hudson, just deal with it, because we need you and I’m sick of your bullshit.”
-Ellen Ripley

Mike Dodd is the guy who always said video games could be turned into a profession and eventually it turned out he was right. Mike is a passionate nerd about all facets of nerd culture from the love of the BBC’s Doctor Who to the very latest in the fight game scene, he’s on to it and likely turned into his new obsession. Dodd was raised to love all things that were pop culture from viewing his first horror movie at five years old to owning one of the first Nintendos in North America, it’s been a childhood dominated by the controller and movie screens and he couldn’t be happier. Roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons dominated the high school years and unhealthy doses of Japanese anime were frequent as he completed his education and took sometime off to explore Canada and the US. However as all good times must come to an end, a decision was made to get some experience and do something fun and learn something and meant getting involved in the media. Mike volunteered with Rogers Television and became the audio/technical director for several successful programs and decided that he should further that experience by going to college. 4 years and several massive headaches later, Mike became known as “The Birdman” of This week in Geek but that is a story for another website….

Oh dear. Oh dear indeed.
Probably the best worst game I’ve played in years.
This ain’t happening, man… This can’t be happening, man! This isn’t happening!
‘What the hell happened to Aliens: Colonial Marines?’ indeed.
Nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Gameplay? Nope! Multiplayer information? Nope! Unadulterated awesomeness? HOO-RAH!
“You don’t die unless I give the order. Got it?”
Get ready for the bug hunt.
Spoilers: Xenomorphs kill people.

Everyone is hating on this game
It deserves it.Had a quick go at it at mates house last night…i was laughing AT the chronic gameplay and horrendous A.I but at the same time felt sorry for my friend who paid full price for this bunch of binary bolderdash.
This is the only time I can think of a game that literally broke my heart
I’ve had relationships that have hurt less then this utter betrayal
Can’t think of a game that totally took advantage of a franchise like this
It’s damned fan fiction…
Man Sorry Birdman I feel with you i Still cant believe that they fucked up Aliens I mean Hows that even possible.. Well looking forward to MG Rising .
Probably the best worst game I’ve played in years.
This ain’t happening, man… This can’t be happening, man! This isn’t happening!
Join John Mulkey from Gearbox software and a whole host of horrible xenomorphs.
