Aliens: Infestation...Time To Dust Off Your DS

Its been quite a few years since we've had a half decent game that tackled the Aliens franchise..The latest attempt by Sega, Alien Vs Predator turned out rather average..And you know what? It absolutely blows when people squander their chance to deliver a proper homage to a fantastic franchise. In a very random turn of events, Sega just recently released a brand new trailer for a DS title known as Aliens: Infestation...And no, not the underwhelming 3DS..We're talking DS classic. Its a strange move on their part, but after learning more about the game, the chances of myself picking up a copy just went up by 900%.

The game offers what appears to be a sidescrolling experience, but beefs it up with quicktime events, Castlevania/Metroid style exploration and a deep squad based system. And lets not forget, the game isn't toned down due to the system...Its an adult rated title with copious amounts of Xenomorph dismemberment, facehugger impregnation and a ton of dark, creepy settings reminiscent of the film. The fact that Sega chose not to scrap this game is a good sign, in my opinion. The game will be coming out on October 11, so mark your calendars for what will hopefully be a solid title that does the franchise justice.
