Default Aliens to PC and Subtitle?

Aliens is on the cover of Game Informer. AND it has a subtitle. "Colonial Marines"
http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Sto...1711.09335.htm
Speculate on that one. Also this link has a bit more about it, and is stated to be coming to PC as well ( I figured as much) but I guess people just thought it would be hitting consoles.

"Gearbox Software knows a thing or two about soldiering—its Brothers in Arms games have even been used to recreate key World War II battles on the History Channel. With those kind of qualifications, it seems like they’d be the perfect developer to tackle a game about Marines. Make that United States Colonial Marines. You got it—Aliens: Colonial Marines is invading consoles and PCs in 2009..."

Looks like some new info should be forthcoming soon.

Enjoy!

Damn - Look at the covergirl from a game due in 2009! Looks like something Rogue would make. Guess I'm getting that magazine... I reckon we should have been privvy to the info first though, being supporters from such an early stage.

Not being able to do so has been extremely hard, if that helps.

Thanks. If it's going into that magazine anyway, can you give us anything in advance? Or does the mag have you contractually silent to ensure sales?

Do it like ripping off a bandaid
- Alien playable yes or no... Come on I can take it...

Yeah, indeed, it reminds me of Rogue's work as well.

I see that the 'ridge' head is back in fashion once again. Now we just need to have a shotgun thrust into its slimy maw.

"I keep this handy for 'close encounters...'" What a great line that was!

Ummm.. I don't like this cover. Sorry, the alien looks weird.

And that mc farlane ALIEN figure in the back? wtf ? It remainds me a cover for this new alien books like :

http://avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/...iennovel08.jpg

Where they are using overpainted photos of alien figures. Are artists too lazy nowadays to create something without any refs or photo usage?

Meh..
