The Marines turned into the perpendicular passage where all traces of light vanished. They lumbered slowly towards a viscously translucent puddle. One of the soldiers bent down and poked at the liquid with the barrel of his assault rifle. Long strands of the gummy slippery mucous dangled from the weapon and dripped chaotically to the ground.
An ethereal sound comes from behind the marines. Surging out of the darkness a creature with an insect like physique and an elongated cranium devoid of eyes. It hisses at the marines and bares its teeth. Its jaws part slightly and reveal another set of teeth hidden within.
The Marines fired on the creature, shredding through the beast's endoskeleton. Acidic blood started splattering everywhere and eating through the walls and ground.
Who doesn't love the atmospheric fear created by the "Aliens" film franchise? Sega and Gearbox Software's Aliens: Colonial Marines is attempting to recreate iconic moments from the Alien franchise, particularly the film Aliens.
Gearbox has unveiled two new images from the new game to tease fans. The images are of a Xenomorph and a couple of running and gunning marines. While the pictures don't reveal a whole lot, they are kind of awesome. The Xenomorph does look particularly detailed.
Aliens: Colonial Marines releases on Feb. 12, 2013 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360. The game is described a true sequel to James Cameron's film and takes place after the events of the third film. The story follows Corporal Christopher Winter, a Colonial Marine who is part of a search and rescue team sent to investigate the U.S.S. Sulaco and find the ships crew.
