The 'original' Colonial Marines

[Mother]

Aliens: Colonial Marines is a first-person shooter based in the Alien universe that pits players in a brand new story that follows the second movie in the series, Aliens. In short, the game begins as your ship discovers a drifting marine space ship floating far too close to a powerful sun that's pulling it in at a rapid pace. Your team boards the seemingly empty ship, and then you discover a team of rogue scavengers has taken over the ship, hoping to steal equipment, food and resources of any kind. You also discover that aliens are onboard, and killing off the scavengers. As you fight off aliens and find the pilot cabin, you must redirect the vessel before it crashes into the sun.

I don't know what to think of it.

I think that it would have been a okay game at the time (not great) but I am glad that we have somthing so much better now

You can tell it's very early in development when your character can't even aim aling the vertical axis. The view only ever moved side to side, not up and down.

Maybe the person playing was a bit stupid?

[Mother]

Good point.

[Ripley]

Why did this fall flat on it's arse again?

[Chris!(($$))!]

I think funds dropped and the development team went under.

One one hand, unfortunate. On the other, at least we now have a new version being developed.
