Also i loved Prometheus, seen it twice now on Blu-ray at a friends, i would love a side-story/sequel to it.
Glad to see another Prometheus fan. I loved the movie, as well. It just felt so sci-fi. I love that that's what it was trying to be, rather then the next slick and stylish action blockbuster. Alien: Resurrection was the complete stinker in the series, IMO.

Anyways, the review of this game I read really made it seem like an Alien fan's/gamer's dream come true. As a fan of the movie series, I can't freaking wait to get my hands on this game.

I really loved Aliens Infestation on the DS and I'm really excited for this title, especially because they've finally dropped the Predator crap.

I have no problem with Predator as a separate franchise but I'm glad to see the Aliens games have finally gotten rid of it and we can focus on the best part, being a scared out of your mind marine up against an unstoppable tide of xenomorphs.

may as well fix the title to include PC :)

Anyone else excited for this one later this week? It would be fun to play some of the campaign together...

I'm suddenly kind of skeptical and have been glancing over some legit LP's popping up lately and yeah, just like the videos I saw in the past for it watching it isn't leaving me very impressed at all. But I'm a Gearbox fan, even had fun with DNF, so I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

I'll be picking up the CE on Tuesday for 360. I haven't looked at any reviews or LPs, so I'll be going into it with fresh and untainted eyes :P

Here's hoping it's as amazing as it looks!

Oh God, if I only could go back in time and stop myself...

I'm cautiously optimistic as I said.

I'm split between the PC and WiiU versions.

Aliens vs Predator on the PC/360/PS3 scored alot of 5's and 6's and its a very awesome game imo, im still getting Colonial Marines despite what anyone says.

"very awesome" is an overstatement I think. Enjoyable for the $15 I paid? Sure. For $50-$60? No. It had its moments, though, I agree. It was reviewed well enough, at about a 7/10 (http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/aliens-vs-predator). As a fan of the series I'd probably bump it to 8/10, myself. The new one is getting a lot of 4/10, 5/10 etc. so far...
