     At the time of this update Metacritic has the 360 version of Aliens: CM sitting at 49 (including an out of place 90 from EGM) the PC is rocking a solid 39, & the PS3 has achieved a 46.

     Now about that EGM review, I just read it and they praise the loving attention to environment detail & choose to focus on the few high points, while glossing over "AI teammates that seem to forget the alien menace must be obliterated", "subpar graphics", "heinous cinematics", & "you’ve got some definite dents in the hull here", all their words pulled directly from their review.  The review also features pre release pics that don't really show much resemblance to the final product.

     Still EGM found a reason to give Alians: CM a 90.  A quick look to the comments section suggests what that reason may have been, "Seriously guys, how much did they pay you to write this bollocks? #lostallcredibility" writes one reader.  While I'd suspect some quick ad clicks as enough of an incentive to stand so far out from the crowd of reviews, maybe they just really love Aliens?

 

I'm going to predict right now that the Wii U version is cancelled.  That's my prediction, prove me wrong Sega!

not too surprising, it might not thaaat bad. If it is, that's 2 gearbox games, that have been disastrous this gen.



You should see the montage they have on youtube for the game and the Wii U graphics, Really sad.

I saw that.  I think it's a joke, if I'm not mistaken that "Wii U" clip was taken from Aliens vs Predator on PC which came out over a decade ago (and is actually a good game).  Just a little joke.



Not suprised at all. None of the gameplay videos have looked good.

Looks like this could be the first review score for Aliens: Colonial Marines.  It comes from GamesTM, I'm not too familiar with them, but in this case I'm inclined to believe them.

Aliens: Colonial Marines is a 4

Maybe one of theyse review who is not enought like COD kind of review ???

I remember alien vs predator last game, the review king of arsh on it and it turn out to be pretty close to the World lore.

As a fan, I am pretty sure it will turn out good for us.
