Aliens. GearBox didn't work on the single player portion of this game.



Houston-based TimeGate Studios, meanwhile, worked on “probably about 20 or 25 percent of the total time,” with Pitchford noting that “if you take preproduction out of it, their effort’s probably equivalent to ours. Now, it’s not fair to take preproduction out of it, but that says a lot about how much horsepower those guys put into it.”

If you go to this link and scroll down to the Aliens section it will show you who did what. Gearbox barely worked on this game according to all the different teams that worked on this game.

Already activated it days ago, might as well enjoy it as much I can before the buyers remorse seeps through my veins.

Metacritic now has Aliens at 45 for the 360 & the PC version is at 46.  Waiting for more reviews for the PS3 version.

Can't wait for the Wii U version.



After Duke Nukem Forever, (one of the worst games I've played this gen) no, I'm not surprised.



This is such a bummer. I was really looking forward to four-player co-op.



I'm enjoying it. Its all about the fan service and this game delivers in spades. Great to see Lance Henriksen back and well as the environments.



The overall meta score has dropped from 49 to 47. This is an average of all review across all systems.

What are peoples experiences with this game? Is the online fun? Are the reviews fair?
