More space shooting is on the horizon, as Aliens: Colonial Marines drafts you into a United States Colonial Marine squad preparing to face an Aliens assault more intense and horrific than ever before.

The original storyline manages to keep the atmospheric look and feel of the original films while pulling on the gaming tricks of the trade to create a new interactive Aliens experience.

And fans of the films will revel in the weaponry that ranges from classic pulse rifles to flame-throwers, as well as brand new equipment.

Whether you’re brave enough to tackle the game in single-player mode or as part of an all-new four player co-op mode, it’s a creepy title that is deserving of its place in the Aliens franchise, and will make a nice addition to your game collection, if you’ve got a fancy for even more frights after Dead Space 3...
