Game Over, Man
It was with heartbreak that my brother learned that the videogame he’d been anticipating literally for years, Aliens: Colonial Marines, is by almost all accounts a turgid piece of poopie.
There were a handful of outlier reviews singing its praises, but they were effectively drowned out by a massive dry heave from pretty much the entire gaming community.
By the time the game was in the hands of angry gamers, it became fodder for dumbstruck Vine videos

and hilarious YouTube videos detailing the very un-alien ways that the aliens behave in the game.
Meany’s not really a big videogame player, but for Bobbo, I imagine this is a heartbreak very similar to what Pablo is going through. We decided to view it through the prism of dance.
But really, it could have been such a great game. But even if people work to improve upon it, it’s very likely that years of mediocre work and bad decisions won’t be reversed.
