Aliens: Colonial Marines Box Art Revealed

News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

Did you hear?  Aliens: Colonial Marines got some brand-spanking new box art!  Game packaging is usually not that big of a deal, but, you know, it's Aliens: Colonial Marines. Some of us have been waiting for this game for a long time.  Heck, the staff at Amazon still has their hopes up for a March release, despite the official delay until this Fall. At least we have some sweet, sweet box art to gaze upon:

          

Damn PS3.  Always messing up my box art feng shui.

Is it everything you dreamed it would be?  To the checklist!  

Drooling Xenomorph? Check.  

Pharyngeal jaws? Check!

How abut that detail of the four marines? Let's look at that again:

Lens flare? Check.  

Dude with a cyborg leg/possible android? Check.  

Female wearing body armor with arms and midriff totally exposed? Hell yeah! Check.

Guy form Battlefield 3's cover? Really? Okay. Check.  

How about a generic goatee guy with tatoos?  Close enough. Check.  

Toss in a M240 Flamethrower, M41A Pusle Rifle, and an M56 Smart Gun and call it good.  What's the girl get?  I don't know.  A pistol and eye black, or something.  Who cares?  Look at that frick'n xenomorph!  

Aliens: Colonial Marines should be out on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC this fall.  It supports four player online co-op and two player local co-op.

That is indeed some sweet looking box art. It's cool to see some diversity in the characters, and not just four generic males. I wonder if the guy with the robotic leg is an android?

No problem playing the hot chick with mid-rift showing - if it was a third person game!

But I'm going to call some shenanigans here! For this to be a spiritual sequel to Aliens, there's too much commercialism in the marine characterizations on the box. Yeah, the BF3 guy is a give-away, and I do have to say something about the hot chick! Did Vasquez, Dietrich, and Ferro wear belly exposing armor? The most skin we got out of Ripley was at the climax of the 1st Alien!

There's only 1 way to fix this! Call James Cameron and tell him we need a new special edition Aliens - digitally edit some midriffs on the female Marines! If he won't, just tell his buddy George would do it, then make it 3D and make tons more money.
