CVG have some new (REAL) screens of Sega's tactical xenomorph shooter, Aliens: Colonial Marines. While the first proposed "scans" were most likely fake, these new ones are the real deal and look hotter than the mother of all MILFs, the Alien Queen herself.
The xenomorphs, arguably the stars of the show, look gorgeous, with just the right level of detail and shiny sleekness to bring Giger's nightmarish phallic creations to life. The environments also promise a moody and, dare I say it, scary atmosphere. If this game can create a sense of dread as you pick your way through a dank nest of facehugger eggs, then I am absolutely sold.
It seems that Aliens: Colonial Marines is off to a good start, with a truly menacing representation of the alien creatures and an atmospheric look that should provide players with a heavy dose of the creeps. We won't know for sure until we can get our hands on it though, so if anyone at Sega is reading this -- DO WANT GIMME NAOW!!!

There will be no "Gameover, man" here!
Give me the ability to use one of those modified cargo robots (the one that was used on the second movie) and i am sold.
"Wrong!"
"Yeah, watch us."
I can't wait to see if they simulate a shitty leader who gets most of the team killed with his incompetence.
Not unless he does a flash kick to the alien in front severing his face, and while in mid air shoots the one behind him with that shotgun.
"This game is worthless without Hicks. Voice by Michael Biehn himself. You were all thinking it, I just said it."
Ill be content if Ron Pearlman, Keith David, Sigourney Weaver, and Gilbert Gottfried were asked to do voice overs.
Hey, dude was in Tiberian Sun. No reason they can't get him for this.
@MrJunko
While spry kung-fu marines would be pretty awesome, the prospect seems unlikely.
"While spry kung-fu marines would be pretty awesome"
PRETTY awesome!? wrong answer. WRONG answer.
I wanna squeeze your Avatar.
I DON'T DO ENTHUSIASM! NOT FOR YOU! NOT FOR ANYBODY!
I used to do enthusiasm for Trent Reznor, but he just couldn't be as consistently awesome after The Fragile.
@Samit
Xenomorph larvae: Worst STD ever.
But seriously, Private Hudson is all I would never want to hear, wondering how to get out of the chicken shit outfit that is the colonial marines.
They can't follow canon completely, or it'll just be Ripley being the hero with the actual marines completely secondary.
From the look of the screenshot that Samit posted, it looks like you'll have the chance.
is this going to be like Alien vs. Predator 3 (Which i want to exist)?
i want to be the aliens and bust through some chests and skulls of lowlife marines so BADLY!!!
Looking forward to this though, I loved the first AvP game!
NOTE TO DEVS - Achievement for # of shotgun kills must read "For Close Encounters" This is not a request. Also, pulse rifle should be "Feel The Weight"
But in a way I've never been sicked out before.
A good way.
Also "Short Controlled Bursts" for ammo conservation.
I want.
Give to me.

Bring it, Sega!
Now! Criticism. Why the hell do all Aliens games have to use the exact same environment templates? The hexigon hallways, the facehuggers in tubes... it's all so overused and familiar. It doesn't diminish the game looking awesome, but I'd like to see some new environments concieved. Lets fight them in a cave-ridden jungle, or some outdoor suburbia. Why does every planet in the Aliens universe have to look like LV-426?!

You can always trust those Scorpian Aliens, they're good guys.
