According to the official site for Aliens: Colonial Marines, Gearbox's take on the Xenomorph-flavored franchise has been pushed back from Spring to Fall. Or rather, that's what the site used to say. After CVG got a no-comment from SEGA, the site went back to saying Spring.
The publisher is keeping tight-lipped on a release date, but the date change was certainly auspicious. The fact it's reverted back just makes it downright strange.
In any case, Spring always seemed rather ambitious considering so little has been seen of the game since it was shown at E3 last year. Hopefully we see more soon. I hate it when projects go silent -- always a worrying sign.

Maybe they could learn from Homefront... the game could have been great if it had been delayed until it actually worked. They never did manage to patch the PS3 version so that people could easily launch into a game... and more importantly group up with friends and play. :(
... sometimes "release now/fix it later" doesn't work out so well.
Exactly Aliens plus Dead Space, throw in pools of acid for when you kill an Alien reminiscent of the Spitter from L4D2, and Alien-style Headcrabs with interesting play mechanics. I mean we have got a good game here.

Would be even better if it modified the environment. Holes in walls and floors etc.
