Aliens: Colonial Marines was hyped as a game for the fans, transporting you to LV-426 and making you feel like you're living the direct sequel to the beloved film. When players actually got their hands on it, however, the general reaction was less "screams of approval" and more "wails of despair." Good thing then that TemplarGFX has taken it upon themselves to overhaul the game from top to bottom, improving everything from texture resolutions to enemy behavior.
"TemplarGFX's ACM Overhaul" is available now on ModDB, and if you've got a PC copy of the game still sitting on your digital shelf, I'd highly recommend giving it a try. Improvements including new particle effects, dynamic shadows, and animation tweaks make this version stand above its vanilla counterpart visually, but where things get really interesting is in how it improves the Xenomorph behavior.
