Aliens To Infest Our Hearts This September

Aliens To Infest Our Hearts This September

None

Can someone please explain to me how the Aliens and the Predators stayed married for so long? Seriously. How many terrible movies and sub-par video games does it take to realize that this relationship is not working? Luckily, the divorce was finally finalized with last year’s Predators movie, and it looks like gamers are about to reap some of the benefits.

Sega recently announced that Aliens: Infestation, an “action-heavy side-scrolling exploration game,” will be heading to the Nintendo DS in September. Now, I know that this news isn’t going fill the void left by Mega Man Legends 3, but this Contra-meets-Metroid side-scroller should offer at least a little comfort to the classic gamers among us.



Players will assume the roles of (up to) 19 different Marines and will be tasked with exploring the alien universe. Sega’s Gary Knight explains: “In contrast to our other Aliens title in the works at the moment, Aliens: Infestation delivers a game that focuses more on exploration of the expanded universe.” He adds “WayForward really put all their passion into making Aliens: Infestation the definitive Aliens experience that you can fit in your pocket.”

It has been a while since I had a definitive Alien experience in my pocket. I guess I’ll have to wait until September like everyone else.
