The Aliens gaming franchise has gone down the tube much like Sigourney Weaver's acting career. There is hope, however, as the upcoming first-person shooter Aliens: Colonial Marines should give the series the jolt it needs to once again rise to prominence. Here's why.
4. Marine Tough
The marines that you'll be using throughout the game aren't just random, cookie cutter soldiers. They all have their own unique skills and personalities and react to different situations just like a real soldier would. Out of the 12 you can comprise your team of four; some are more likely to panic than other but may wield more powerful guns.
3. Not Your Average FPS
Aliens: Colonial Marines takes a different approach than other first-person shooters in how it plays out. Instead of being one long, continuous story, Aliens: CM is broken down into three different acts with each one containing a certain amount of levels.
2. Blowing off Face-huggers
Sega's new Aliens game will be bringing back many of the standard weapons from earlier installments in the series as well as adding new guns, too. Players will have flamethrowers, mounted guns, pulse rifles, grenade launchers, and more at their disposal.
1. Allies in Alien-killing
The online version of Colonial Marines will allow people to play through the campaign with their friends in team of four. What's cool about this is that players can enter the game or leave it without disrupting anything or forcing the team to go back in some type of lobby.

I thought that the game was in jeapordy of being cancelled and at the very least, delayed for quite awhile?
