Gamin' NEWS! that other Aliens game

So, some Aliens, probably even some of you guys, are awaiting for Aliens: Colonial Marines for Xbox 360, PC and PS3, right?
But surely, not a lot of you know that there's another Aliens game coming up for around the same time.

This one called Aliens: Infestation and developed by WayForward Technologies! (also getting published by Sega)
Now, WayForward is a company I really dig. They're one of the few studios left that is still able to work with beautiful 2D sprites, and make some great fun arcad-ysh titles. And I'm not speaking of all the lousy flash-like games people rush on the Xbox live or for Iphones, I'm speaking of beautifully animated real sprites, old school! Their more mainstream titles include Contra 4 or that DS Thor tie-in game.
But I prefer to mention their awesome gorgeous A Boy and His Blob remake on the Wii, Batman: The Brave and the Bold – The Videogame or Shantae.

This Aliens game is done like your typical old school 16-bits action shooter. Some call it a throwback to the Contra series.
I prefer to say, it looks similar or even inspired by that old awesome Alien 3 game.
It is set for September 30. (in most countries)

Here's some gameplay:


ALIENS: INFESTATION par SEGA

You'll be able to recruit and play as a bunch of various Marines through the game. The goal will be obviously to face hordes of Xenomorphs, while traveling across memorable sceneries from the movies such as the USS Solaco and more!

  1. Ahh its like watching an old SNES game in the making though it certainly looks better and plays better than the SNES games that were out at the time XD
