The previews for Aliens: Colonial Marines<\/em><\/a> have been a bit back and forth. By that I mean some of them make the game look like a thoughtful spinoff of the first three Alien<\/em> movies<\/a> with similarly creepy design (the alien hive preview<\/a>), while others have made the game look like a mindless shooter that resembles all the action-heavy parts of James Cameron’s Aliens<\/em> (the “Kick Ass<\/a>” trailer).<\/p>\n

In that context it’s understandable that Alien<\/em> and shooter fans alike may be wary of how the game will play. The latest trailer for the game, released today by Gearbox<\/a>, attempts to split the difference. To do this, heavy action scenes similar to those in the “Kick Ass” trailer are set to some low-key instrumental music and given a few Zack Snyder-style slow-mo sequences. It’s reminiscent of the old Gears of War<\/em> “Mad World” trailer, but with explosions and face-huggers.<\/p>\n

Whatever Aliens: Colonial Marines<\/em> actually turns out to be, we’ll all find out next week when the game is released on February 12.<\/p>\n
