Aliens: Colonial Marines still alive, DS version confirmed photo

It's time for our usual check-in with Gearbox and the status of Aliens: Colonial Marines. The title was nowhere to be seen at E3, but Gearbox's Randy Pitchford has confirmed that the game is still not dead, despite publisher Sega putting all its weight behind Aliens vs. Predator and Gearbox hard at work on Borderlands.

In addition, the rumored Aliens DS game has been confirmed, although Gearbox won't be working on it. Despite original rumors suggesting the game was canceled, a portable version should be coming from Wayforward in 2010, around the same time as the console version. 

When Colette and Dale visited Wayforward during E3, the studio seemed to be sniggering about the leaked video and hinted very strongly that they knew something was up. Glad to see it finally confirmed, because that game is looking really fun.

The more aliens games the better in my opinion.

Seta I believe also said the alien RPG isn't dead which I'm glad to hear.

Now if ridley Scott will agree to direct the prequel it'll get greenlighted and I'll have me lots of (hopefully good) alien content for years to come.

Shit, are they going to release MGS DS now?
Everything comes out in the Nintendo handheld.

AvP looks like it'll have the cat and mouse gameplay down as the different races, where as A:CM looks to have the tactical squad-based survival horror element in its sights.

I definitely have room for both games in my library!

@HiddenAHB - There's already Ghost Babel, the GameBoy Color MGS game. But when they call Alines: Colonial Marines a spiritual successor to Contra, then you know I'm down!

This makes me a very happy little boy. I'm actually more excited about the DS game than Colonial Marines.

why ds and not psp- AVP was actually half way decent for an alien on handheld (even though it was more predator than alien)
