    Wow. My enthusiasm for this game has just been killed in 2 pages.

    Thanks for wasting a great gaming concept with poor implementation.

    Should have just rebooted AvP to be honest. I loved that game.

    I watched a gameplay video of this for the first time a few weeks ago and it didn't look promising. This review and others like it have comfirmed my fears. I was so looking forward to it before then.

    Shame, it looked quite promising in some of the game-play trailers.

    Guess i'll be sticking to Natural selection 2, for my humans VS aliens gaming fix.

    They already tried that, it was pretty bad.

    NS2 for the win - a good server and it's intense and brilliantly balanced!

    Oh my.

    I preordered it and bought the season pass too.

    Here's hoping that this is one of those games that rates badly but I actually enjoy.

    Still, Dead Space 3 is currently making me very, very happy.

    Indeed, how does this stack up against AVP 2010?

    IIRC it didn't fare well in reviews, but I thought it was enjoyable if not earth shattering.

    AVP2 was an awesome multiplayer that still has not been equalled. Refresh that and we'll have a winner on our hands.

    Such a shame. Like so many of my generation the movie Aliens holds a special place in my heart and I could prattle on for hours about the movie and the merchandise I've gathered over the years. If this is genuinely a poor game (And every review says it is) then it's unforgivable.

    I'll still pick it up on a steam sale though. If I was prepared to pay £90 for a US import of the special edition on laser disc and £500 on the player to go with it then I think I'm prepared to cough up when it's half price.

    It won't be the first terrible movie tie in I've played.

    What a shame. I really liked Alien VS Pred 2(I think it was that one) and was looking forward to this one.

    Aw crap. I was hoping this game would get me back into FPSs again. Oh well at least I have "Hawken" for now. Even though it's still in beta, I'm enjoying the heck out of it.
