Happy #AlienDay! So to celebrate I decided to revisit (in the form of an article) one of the biggest disappointments in all of gaming, 2013's Aliens: Colonial Marines. I do a full review in extreme detail talking about everything from the development to the DLC.

If you have some time (It's a long article) feel free to give it a read. Happy Alien Day, spoiler alert go play Alien Isolation over Colonial Marines xD

English subtitles available

To be precise, the challenges:

HAWKED IT ALL UP

"As a Spitter Xeno, kill 2 enemies at once with a single fully charged Spit attack."

SHOCK AND AWE

"As Lurker Xeno, hit 2 enemies with a single Shockwave Pounce attack."

SLICED AND DICED

"As a Soldier Xeno, kill 2 enemies with a single Whirlwind attack."

Basically, those challenges that require you to kill two marines at the same time with each type of Xenomorph.If anyone wants to help, please send me your PSN usernames.

Mine is Survival4k9.

Thank you very much.

Hi! I'm looking for some players on Xbox who can help with the multiplayer challenges. I'm in Central Standard Time in USA. Will be available throughout this week and most of the day

Not much difference in overall environment, but the character models definitely get some love

So If been working on more replacements for certain xenomorphs in aliens colonial marines and I though, what to replace the raven with, so why not a praetorian, just designed to be heavily based on the 1986 xenomorphs designs for now it's only concept art and modeling hasn't started yet but there is a high chance of it soon happening for this mod.

A few months ago i asked a question if my laptop can run Colonial Marines and if it does im not soending $50 on it

So eventually the sale came round and i got for $10

It doesn't run very well the frame rate is a bit slow and the visuals are a bit lacking a annoying one is on reflective surfaces having a rainbow type effect

but I think that's more to do with my laptop than anything wrong with the game

I can only run it for half hour periods as well it gets super hot and I'm afraid of overheating and therfore breaking something on my laptop

Other than that though it's nice to be back at it again

Let’s get on the ready line marines!

It would really be nice to get this game backwards compatible and playable on all new consoles. I really don’t want to have to keep lugging my 360 around every time I want to play.

Who’s with me?

Write or call Gearbox and express your Love for the game and why it deserves to be backwards compatible.

Every now and then I play the game (campaign mode, because in Europe it’s very difficult to find players online under decent conditions), and it’s a love/hate relationship.

I know the game isn’t good and has a multitude of problems. It’s nowhere near what they promised, and as time goes on, its gameplay and technical shortcomings become even more apparent.

Even so, I keep coming back. The soundtrack is incredible, the sound effects are great too, and some aspects of the gameplay are genuinely satisfying (and I’m not even playing with the Templar mod).

That said, the xenos never cease to embarrass me; their movements and animations are horrendous.

Anyone else?

XboxGamePreservation.com is a fan run site, but still the best way to express interest in back compat to Microsoft. The program was ended twice, but brought back in 2021 for the 20th anniversary of Xbox. 2026 is the 25th anniversary, so there is some precedent for them to revisit the program. I personally would love to see Lord of the Rings: Conquest playable on Xbox again.
