Aliens: Colonial Marines

Also known as: Aliens, Gearbox Aliens, Alien FPS
This action game is wisely based on James Cameron's envisioning of the franchise instead of on the cracked-out Alien vs Predator license. Let's hope it's not "Game over, man" for the series.

Genre: Action
Expected release date: Late 2008
Published by: Sega
Developed by: Gearbox
Multiplayer Modes:
Online
4 player CO-OP
