At long last, Aliens: Colonial Marines hasbeen given acold, hard release date. Well, release month - actually, more like release season. After five years of gestating in Gearbox Software's stomach, SEGA today announced the long-anticipated shooter based on FOX's sci-fi film franchise will burst through in a haze of blood, guts and gooey stuff in Spring 2012. It also dropped a new trailer to get us all worked up again:

Announced back in 2006, Aliens: Colonial Marines has been in development purgatory since, taking a back seat to other Gearbox titles such as Borderlands and, most recently, Duke Nukem Forever. Not to be confused with the other upcoming Alienstitlefrom Sega'sUK developers atThe Creative Assembly, Aliens: Colonial Marines takes the alien pwning action to planet LV-426, where the discovery of an abandoned ship kicks off a story that will see players fighting the Xenomorphs in their bid to stop a %26ldquo;galaxy-spanning deception that places humanity at the mercy of the most murderous and deadly species in the universe.%26rdquo;

Damn, talk about pressure. Perhaps a refreshing PR quote can lighten the mood?
