Aliens: Colonial Marines

PS3 and XB360 versions on sale at Target for $33.

Not too long before they're $20, or maybe wait like I did for Duke Nuke'm for $10 closeout...

Sega has announced the WiiU version is cancelled, which is hopefully the final nail in the coffin of this very sad story. It's what I've been expecting since the shockingly bad PlayStation reviews started rolling in, and now we have confirmation.

On the positive side, my mate's recently purchased the CPS2 arcade board of Aliens vs Predator which arrived this week. He's coming over with it this evening so that's my Aliens fix sorted

Yeah why bother spending more money on a product that given the reception on other formats, was unlikely to sell well on the WiiU

At this point it's better - so much negative press, and maybe that blog entry about the Wii U version that was nixed right away for being "fake" had truth in it.

SEGA should develop a totally new game with use of the gamepad rather than try to make them for all consoles. PS4 and the new XBox are to have remote touchscreen capabilities as well...

Found the quote I was looking for (months ago) while surfing on doteaters:

"A delayed game is eventually good; a rushed game is forever bad."
Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Super Mario Bros.


I don't know why this game (and my post) stuck in my head, but ACM is a great "bad" example to serve as a warning to everybody.

I think it's also that the developer SEGA paid to make the game used the money for their own game franchise instead...

Anyone see the game for $20 new yet? I heard from AvP fans it is worth that...
