  • Aliens: Colonial Marines Story Trailer

    original

    Gearbox Software has released another video for [amazon_link id=”B005THAX5Q” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Aliens: Colonial Marines[/amazon_link]. This one focuses on the actual story of the game which has this set of marines arriving to LV-426 17 weeks after the distress signal was sent out in the 1986 movie. We even get greeted at the beginning by Cpl. Hicks (bandaged and all) warning that all members of his squad are K.I.A.

    Check out the story trailer below. Aliens: Colonial Marines releases on February 12, 2013.

  • Aliens Figures Will Be On My Shelf In 2013

    I guess it’s a NECA kind of morning.

    After showing off the Bioshock Infinite figures earlier today I went a bumming around on the company’s website and found these beauties that will be available in Spring 2013.

    The first series will come with Hicks, Hudson and Alien warrior. Marines stand 7″ tall and have over 30 points of articulation while the Alien warrior will be over 9″. Hicks and Hudson will come equipped with pulse rifle, shotgun, motion tracker and shoulder lamp.

    Yes, please.

     

     

  • Aliens: Colonial Marines “Concept To Game” Video

    Here is the newest video from developer Gearbox for their upcoming game Aliens: Colonial Marines.

    This short video shows a sample of the concept art of Hadley’s Hope and how it has been translated into the virtual world. It is a nice look at the exterior of the planet and see how exactly decimated it is since Ripley and Bishop let it go nuclear at the end of the movie Aliens. Gearbox is doing a good job of giving people just enough to get excited about the game without showing off too much.

  • Aliens: Colonial Marines New Survivor Mode Trailer

    Aliens Goes Into “Horde Mode”

    One of the games that is on my definite pick up list next year is [amazon_link id=”B005THAX6K” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Aliens: Colonial Marines[/amazon_link] and now the guys at Gearbox have revealed a new multiplayer mode for the game.

    The Survivor mode will see a team of four marines controlled through online cooperative multiplayer as they try survive against wave after wave of xenomorph attacks. Does it sound overly original? No, but it doesn’t have to because when you think about it the movie Aliens is basically a two and a half hour survivor mode so let’s just say that this game has as good a reason to have one as any other.

    Have a look at the trailer below to see Survivor mode in action.
