Opelousas Police have re-arrested a 16-year-old on charges of 2nd degree murder following the shooting death of a 5-year-old.
New information from an exclusive KATC interview with the boy's parents provides fresh insight into what may have occurred on the day of the shooting.
Jon'qualon Pitre died in a Baton Rouge hospital after being shot on February 27th. Initially the teenager was charged with illegal possession of the firearm. Chief Perry Gallow told us they found the gun used in the shooting just feet away from the victim. However, the teenager said he wasn't there, and phone records reflected he made a few calls near his mother's Cherry Street home when the shots were fired.
Police had said that it had appeared as though the five-year-old and his seven-year-old brother were the only ones in the yard when the shot was fired at "point blank range". Now police say because of evidence analyzed at the State Police Crime lab and further statements taken, the teenager is now the suspect in the shooting death.
During an exclusive and previously unpublished interview with Jon'qualon's parents on March 5, Jon'qualon's mother said she had asked her 7-year-old, "Did you touch the gun?"
"No, ma'am," he told her, according to the boy's mother, Shawndree Pitre. The boys' father, Benjamin Gaines, told KATC that his 7-year-old "had been sticking to his story and I don't know why the police don't believe him."
"He (his 7-year-old) doesn't lie to his father at all," said Gaines. Gaines told KATC that the 16-year-old boy now in custody, a boyfriend of Gaines's sister-in-law, he said, had been borrowing the white car belonging to his wife's sister. Gaines's father said that his 7-year-old had told him that the now apprehended 16-year-old boy had left the scene in the same white vehicle shortly after the alleged shooting of Jon'qualon.
"For a month, he had been staying at our house. My wife didn't like him. My wife had a funny vibe against him. He had been skipping school," Gaines said.
Gaines said that that his 7-year-old son had told him that he had witnessed the 16-year-old shooting a gun in the field across the street and that 16-year-old house guest, according to the 7-year-old, had hidden the gun underneath the steps of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. home.
Gaines said that his 7-year-old next observed the 16-year-old entering the home and then 5-year-old Jon'qualon playing with the gun. According to the story, the father continues, his son told him that the 16-year-old re-exited the home and began to fuss at Jon'qualon.
"Don't play with that gun!" the 16-year-old allegedly shouted at Jon'qualon, according to the boy's father.
"If I ever catch you with that gun, I'm going to shoot you," according to the 7-year-old's story, recounted by his father.
Gaines said that his 7-year-old son witnessed the 16-year-old houseguest allegedly put the gun up to his little brother's head, shoot him, and then leave the scene in a white vehicle. Gaines said that his son told him that there were other people in the vehicle, but could not identify them.
Gaines said that he personally had been offshore at work on the day of the shooting. His wife had been "at the washateria" and that his kids were in the care of his 19-year-old sister-in-law.
On March 5, Gaines had told KATC-TV3 that both he and his wife had been leery of the friendships maintained by his 16-year-old houseguest and that Jon'qualon's mother was close to kicking the 16-year-old out of their home. Gaines said that he resisted his wife's attempt to throw out the teenager who is now in custody for the alleged murder of his 5-year-old son.
"I didn't like doing that to people," Gaines said of the idea of removing the teen from his home.
"The crowd that he hangs with . That's all they do is shoot guns," Gaines said during the March 5 interview.

The parents of the 5-year-old boy shot in his front yard in Opelousas Thursday night have set up an account to accept donations to help pay for the cost of their son's medical and burial expenses.
Those who wish to donate to the beneficiary account for Jon'qualon Pitre should enter or drive-through any Teche Federal location and deposit funds into account 22721997.
Benjamin Gaines and Shawndree Pitre told KATC that the ordeal has been traumatic for the entire family, but that they are coping.
"We're fine. We're trying to be strong for our other three kids," said Jon'qualon's mother. Her other children are ages 7, 3, and 2 months.
"It hurts. We try not to let our kids see," she added, noting that their other kids still ask about their brother.
"He's in heaven now. He's an angel and he's watching over us," she said she explained to them.
After being taken off of life support, Jon'qualon Pitre's organs were removed and donated. Opelousas Police Chief said that Pitre suffered a gunshot wound from a weapon placed at "point-blank range" of the boy's head. Gallow said that current evidence points toward only the five-year-old and his seven-year-old brother being present in the yard when the shot was fired.
Gallow added that the gun has been brought in for processing to determine any fingerprints or DNA. A 16-year-old originally had been brought into custody for questioning in the incident, but he since has been cleared of all charges.
The investigation into the shooting continues.

At Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge, 5 year old Jon'qualon Pitre is clinging to life with his parents at his side.
It's a nightmare that started Thursday night. Shawndrea and Benjamin Pitre say, "We were approaching the house; I [saw] my son at the end of the road and I don't let them play outside, so I was like why is he standing by the road."
Shawndrea Pitre says her other son, 7-year-old Ja'qualon, was crying while trying to flag down cars.
"My little boy was like 'he bleeding, he bleeding, he got shot,' so when I went up to see what was going on he was just laying down on the ground," says Shawndrea.
She says Jon'qualon is an honor student with straight A's, and was just talking about going to college two days ago.
She adds he liked school, he loved everybody, he liked joking around and being a bigger brother to his little sister and new brother. He was a good kid and everybody loved him.
The parents add the bullet went in his head and it's still there. They say they can't do anything surgically to remove it since the bullet went in, it shattered and damaged his brain badly.
The family says they forgive whoever is responsible, and they're hoping for the best.
Jon'qualon's parents say, "I just want him to come home because my 7 year old have to live with that, seeing that and me coming home to him stretched out on the ground."

The parents of the five-year-old victim shot in Opelousas have identified their son.
According to his parents, Jon'qualon Pitre remains in serious condition in a Baton Rouge hospital after being shot in the head shortly before 5 p.m. Thursday in the 500 block of Martin Luther King Drive.
Police have arrested a 16-year-old in connection with the case and have charged him with illegal possession of the firearm. The circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation.
Tonight on Acadiana's NewsChannel at 5:00, KATC's Kristen Holloway speaks to Jon'qualon's parents, who are not speaking out about Thursday's events.

Thursday, a 16 year old was arrested after a 5 year old boy was shot in Opelousas.
Opelousas Police have charged the teenager with illegal carrying of a firearm. He is not charged with shooting the child. Opelousas Police Chief Perry Gallow says officers found the gun believed to be used in the shooting, less than 10 feet away from the victim. Gallow also says the teen admitted he brought that gun to the house two weeks ago but the teen says he was not there at the time of the shooting. Police are working to confirm those details. They have, however, confirmed, the teen is a friend of the family who lives in the home in the 500 block of MLK Drive, where the shooting happened.
As for the 5 year old, he is listed in serious condition at a Baton Rouge hospital with a gun shot wound in the head.

Family members tell us the shooting victim in Opelousas is 5-years-old, not 7-years-old as police initially reported. However, the boy's 7-year-old brother was nearby playing at the time of the shooting. The family said it happened less than ten minutes after they arrived home from school while the children were playing outside on MLK drive.
Family members tell KATC's Kristen Holloway that an unknown person placed a gun under the home where the shooting happened. They say minutes later, a car drove by and a person inside started firing shots at the home. The car is only described as a white, 4-door vehicle.
Police would later find a weapon under the porch of the home, but they haven't commented further on how it got there.
The 5-year-old victim is in serious condition and was airlifted to a Baton Rouge hospital. Family members tell us he was shot in the head, but he is alive.

Opelousas Police confirm they are investigating a drive-by shooting in the 500 block of MLK Drive. The victim is a 7-year-old child; no word on the extent of injuries. A white, 4-door car was seen leaving the area. We have a crew en route.

I'm frequently asked, "What's the best way to love someone with bipolar disorder?" Usually the person asking me has the traces of a frown on his face. I empathize. We're not the easiest bunch in the world, the 5.7 million of us with bipolar disorder. But then, simplicity is not what you fell in love with in the first place, is it?
No. Most likely you were attracted to the volatility, the edginess, the uncertainty. Loving someone who's bipolar means loving a panoply of characters: the girl who's overcast one morning and the one who's radiant by mid-afternoon. There's an excitement about not ever being able to predict the emotional weather; but it calls on all your relationship skills.
So here are a few tips on how to "handle" a bipolar person, chosen simply because they reflect how I myself would like to be treated.
1) Don't try to argue a depressed person into cheerfulness. Depression is a powerful beast that demands its rightful due. It may skulk away in its own good time; but while it's present, you have no choice but to honor it. Telling a depressed person they're not depressed, or that they have no right to be, is simply illogical and rude. By far the kinder thing to do is to ask the depressed person, "Where does it hurt?" And then listen, really listen, hard as it may be not to interrupt. This is where trust, that frailest of flowers, begins to take root.

For most of us it's hard to imagine growing up without Christmas. But for thousands of children in the UK, that's exactly what they are facing. On December the 25th, not only will they have nothing to unwrap, but many will wake up frightened, on a cold, dirty mattress to absent parents a lack of food, or will be simply living in neglectful, violent homes. During the festive season child suicide attempts increase five (CHK) fold.
All these are reasons why Kids Company has worked tirelessly for more than a decade to give them a Christmas day they'll always remember.
"My little girl had never experienced true Christmas until she was three-years-old," Sophie, 25, told Grazia last week. Sophie found herself homeless and starving at 17 after her family disowned her when she found out she was pregnant to an abusive boyfriend. "In those early years we had nothing. I was eating so little I couldn't even breast feed my daughter, and ended up being hospitalised as I was so malnourished. My little girl's first Christmas was spent on the floor of a tiny flat. I managed to get her some milk, and I ate cereal. Every day I tried to find a way to make enough money to feed her - for us, Christmas Day was just another one of those days."
Camila Batmanghelidjh, founder and director of Kids Company [Dafydd Jones]
When social services threatened to take Tikita, now seven, away, Sophie was referred to Kids Company. They helped her with everything from housing and education to providing food for her daughter. Tikita is now just one of thousands of children who enjoy a Kids Company Christmas.
In their first year offering the service, Kids Company helped 250 children who had no-where to go, providing food and gifts. This year, on what will be their tenth anniversary and they will help more than 4,000 at the centre at a central location in London and more than 7,500 people in the community. Each child or young adult is picked up individually by car for a day of playing, face-painting, entertainment - and a proper Christmas lunch served up by more than 200 volunteers. They are then given a bag of presents and a haul of food to take home for later.
Kids Company's Christmas fun [Susanne Hakuba]
In the UK, there are 3.5million children living below the poverty line - that's more than one in four - and more than one third of the 350,000 people who rely on food banks in the UK are children.
"We started opening Kids Company on Christmas Day because suicide attempts amongst kids rose on dramatically at Christmas, as kids dreaded spending the thought of being on their own and having no family to turn to at this time of year," Camila Batmanghelidjh, founder of Kids Company says. "One little girl described being so frightened on Christmas Day that she would lift the carpet in her room and urinate between the floorboards because she was too scared to come out of her room because her house was so violent."
Because of Kids Company, that's a scenario so many children no longer have to face. Now, Sophie and Tikita have their own flat after moving out of a hostel they'd lived in for almost a year. Tikita is excelling at school and Sophie is studying to be a nurse. "The first year we spent Christmas with Kids Company, when Tikita was three, I cried the whole way home. We'd had such a brilliant day; I didn't want it to end. For the first time, she'd genuinely enjoyed Christmas. She'd experienced as a child should."
Kids Company need your help to provide for more children than ever this year. Just £50 can provide a child Christmas. "This year, once again, we'll be an extra family for our children and give them the hope and sense of belonging they're yearning for," Camila says. "With your help, we can transform their despair into childlike joy. Give them the Christmas they deserve."
How you can help
£5 will pay for a child to be taken to our Xmas party.
£10 will pay for a stocking full of presents for a child to keep
£20 will pay for 5 children to have Xmas lunch with all the trimmings
£50 provides a weeks worth of food for a child over the Xmas period

DEFINITION of 'Visibility'
The extent to which future projections are probable. Visibility is commonly used in discussing a company's future earnings. A lack of earnings visibility can be a sign that low, or no earnings, are on the horizon. Factors that may contribute to a lack of earnings visibility include regulatory uncertainty, price volatility for production inputs and a weak economy.
Visibility can also refer to a company's presence in the marketplace. Basically, a dominant company would have much greater visibility than a small player.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Visibility'
For example, you'll often hear CEOs in a conference call tell analysts that they have "low visibility" for the upcoming quarter. This means they have little to no idea what future earnings will be, and cannot offer any earnings guidance to analysts or investors.
For a new company to increase its market share, it will need to increase its visibility by implementing effective marketing strategies.

Apr 24, 2013Theres alot of things this game does wrong but a few things right. First of all, the atmosphere of the game fits with alien's franchise. Also the multiplier is pretty enjoyable but the lacks of map makes the game die fast. But the game gets pretty much everything else wrong. The graphics are really outdated and visually the game looks terrible. The biggest concern is the AI the AI will just stand around and do nothing. You can beat this game easily on the hardest difficulty. The boss at the ending is so terrible its not even funny. The story and characters are also terrible so there's not much to look forward in this game. The game was rushed and they should have token more time to work on it. A good year might have made the game worth checking out.… Expand
Apr 26, 2013I have no words to explain why Sega and Gearbox released this alpha version of the game. Horrible in all aspects of the game, except music. The worst game I ever played in 30 years.
May 23, 2013A crappy falsely advertised game deserves nothing more than a zero
May 17, 2013I honestly don't see anything wrong with this game. It offers a suspenseful thrill with a controlled fast pace. Guns are Aim-Down-Sight just like Modern Warfare. You can upgrade and customize them with simple decals.. The story as good as Modern Warfare 2. If I had one complaint it'd be not having the ability to pick up decease's weapons. Graphics were great on the 360, it's directx 9 so you won't get all that hi-res.
Finding memorabilia throughout from the movie was exciting.
The smart-gun is the best I've seen in any game.
With a name like Colonial Marines I would expect to see them running random missions and having the ability to drive the APC.
Maybe one day.… Expand
Jul 28, 2013The game is terrible, awful AI and terrible graphics... That was what I thought before the patch, now, the game has good voice acting, good graphics, good AI and there have been a few moments where I have actually been scared by the game. Although this game is not the one shown to us in 2012 at E3, the game is great and I would highly recommend it to everyone, even people who are not fans of the Aliens franchise.… Expand
Mar 14, 2013It really is a shame that this game didn't get the polish it deserved because that's pretty much all its missing. I grew up with the first two Aliens movies and if you're like me in this respect you'll probably enjoy this game. You'll forgive it for glitchy graphics, odd sound now and again and some screen tear because it'll bring you back to those first films, Newt, Ripley, Hicks, motion trackers and the scream of a xenomorph.
To enjoy this game you have to be invested in the Alien Universe. That doesn't excuse the unfinished nature of the product but the poor reviews shouldn't put Aliens fans off playing this game.… Expand
Feb 13, 2013I was very excited for this game and now i'm severely dissapointed that Gearbox released this train wreck. The game has numerous graphical issues and looks like it should have been released five years ago. There are some parts that will please aliens fans but, a game can't live off of fan service alone. The AI is terrible, especially for the aliens. Aliens are supposed to be dangerous and scary, not weak and laughable. I'm a huge fan of the aliens franchise and this game just craps all over a great opportunity to make a great game. The only reason I'm giving this game a six is because I did have fun at some points. Gearbox should be ashamed of themselves for releasing this game, I won't be buying any games from them anytime in the near future.… Expand
Jun 16, 2013This game promised so much, and then completely fell on it's face. The graphics are very good, but nothing like was promised by the "demo" videos show prior to release. In game they were par for FPS, and it seem great detail was paid to recreate the atmosphere and tension of the movies. The first levels on the Sulaco weren't too bad story wise, but the game was already showing it's weaknesses. The NPC AI is broken beyond repair, and the Alien AI is nonexistent. Duck Hunt was more challenging. By the end of the Sulaco levels, the story was quickly devolving into idiocy. The story makes no sense what so ever and is a slap in the face to fans of the movies. And my biggest complaint is the lack of immersion. They went to all of the trouble to model the dropship and the APC, yet they are only set dressing. The only time the player gets to ride in these vehicles is in cut scenes, never mind flying/driving them. It is because of this game that I will never buy another title from GearBox for full price, and will share their future games used with all of my friends. Shame on them for stealing from consumers, as this game is a complete ripoff.… Expand
Apr 2, 2013*UPDATED REVIEW* The graphics may be dated, dialogue may be cheesy and the game may be a generic shooter, but it is a fun and kind-of-loving-yet-misunderstood homage to the popular sequel. It is faithful to the franchise with plenty of tense moments (mainly involving Alien eggs) and moments of suspense, but before you play hoping it will be amazing, be warned; it is quite flawed and the tense moments will only be tense for Alien fans and people who know what to expect and if you are new to the franchise, this game will come off as a generic and cheap shooter (though it kind of is). Unfortunately, the game sometimes doesn't match the continuity of the films and it could frustrate some fans and features an ending with is incomplete and a blatant attempt at wanting a sequel. All-in-all, I am a little disappointed in this game, though some Alien fans will enjoy this sequel.… Expand
Apr 10, 2013When game developers get pushed into making a public apology for a "misleading" trailer, This pretty much marks the scene for a game. Yes, I got hold of Alien: Colonial Marines a good period of time after release and after this announcement. Immediately I could see what the big uproar was about. First thing that is thrown in front of you with any game is the graphics, which feel like it has been thrown together from the 64 bit era. The trailer of this game showed amazing graphics, amazing game play and intense scenes. With the graphics been first the rule out that the trailer showed, what would be next? Well, to be honest, I failed to find one aspect of this game that made it "good". Controls are sluggish, hit detection is just pure awful, voice acting is laughable, story is bland and just the general play of the game is, well, almost unplayable. The AI are some of the worst I've seen in a game and the enemies are so unpredictable and mostly, unavoidable which makes the overall game play extremely frustrating and boring. I understand that this game also has an online multiplayer feature but I didn't couldn't try it due to lack of interest in the game as a whole and the fact the one time I tried to play an MP game, after half an hour it didn't find me a game. Overall, this game is a failed struggle to save a dying franchise.… Expand
Mar 22, 2013don't know how they could screw up any more than they did.
terrible AI, terrible graphics, mediocre multiplayer, mediocre story, and they have the nerve to sell DLC.
gearbox shouldn't be allowed to make games.
Not a great, generation defining game by any stretch of the imagination, but still fun for Aliens fans. Campaign is a little too short, and the graphics aren't the best. Sound effects are great for the most part, very true to Aliens. I probably would've regretted buying it at release day price, but worth picking up when it hits the bargain bin for Aliens fans. Not game of the year by any stretch, but I don't see this game as a 4-4.5 out of 10 when judged against some of the games that get 8.5-9 in reviews.… Collapse
Mar 3, 2013A game that looked so good at its E3 demos, that was so heavily anticipated, and, let's face it, that is rooted so well in a legendary piece of sci-fi almost couldn't fail. And yet, somehow, Gearbox managed to pull off a total misfire with Colonial Marines. While it'd be easy to turn this entire review into a complaint festival, there are some admirable things about the game, so we'll start with those. It's clear that someone paid attention to the tech manual when they put the weapons and equipment together; it's consistent with the Colonial Marines Technical Manual released years ago with the blessing of those involved. Sound in all its aspects, foley and mixing alike, is a grand slam home run. The score is absolutely outstanding, something that should make Horner proud in how his film score was lovingly adapted to a game score. The levels that overlap the films are consistent and show continuity with events in the film. The weapons are generally faithful to the films, with the Smartgun particularly well implemented. The weapon modification/customization system is thin, but adequate and makes a difference. There are enough little toss-ins to make you feel like you're in the film. That is, until you add in gameplay, graphics, and programming. Then it's wrecked. For a game that was supposed to be a squad-based tactical shooter, A:CM is instead a generic rail shooter dressed up in Aliens clothes. There's no tactical anything in here; your allies are under AI control at all times, and won't even take a suggestion from you (not that there's a way for you to suggest squat). Graphics are horribly disappointing...more like abysmal. This is a console that handles high-power graphics Crysis 2, Crysis 3, Far Cry 3, and Enslaved so there's no excuse. Textures are unbelievably low-res; monitors are unreadable, props are blurry and pixelated. Lighting is good, but implementation of volumetrics appears to have been left off the to-do list. Voice acting is good, but the script, by and large, is the pits, chock full of macho-military cliches and stereotypes. The checkpoint save system was developed by a sadist; there are no checkpoints immediately prior to boss fights and checkpoints are spread far apart, meaning you will have to redo significant sections (and hear the same bloody audio) again and again. The AI is outright defective; it's a good thing that your squadmates are immortal, because an alien will be chewing on their helmets and they won't open fire. Expect no help from them. Overall, Aliens: Colonial Marines is valuable only to those who are diehard fans of the film. As a game, a 4 is a generous rating, earned more or less entirely by the audio department and a pity point. This game fell so far short of expectations and promise that it's just sad. It is worth playing if you're a fan, but not worth the $60 release price. Wait until it descends to the $20 range (which shouldn't take long), then go for it. I'm not mad about the game, just disappointed. It could have, should have, been much more.… Expand
Apr 4, 2013What's wrong with this game:
1- Ridiculous story line that messes up the film story and makes no sense, and offers no explanation, with a terrible cut and dry ending. It's cannon by the way. 2- Terrible alien AI that is not scary, but ridiculous, with hilarious glitches. 3- Glitchy graphics with muddy textures, esp. on consoles 4- Fighting humans for at least 50% of the game!? its called ALIENS! 5- Friendly AI characters: O'Neil, you are a useless and fundamentally unlikable. 6- The E3 2011 demo was the biggest lie in gaming… Expand
Feb 22, 2013I rented this game yesterday, played it for about two hours, and promptly returned it. I can do without the best graphics (my first gaming system was the Odyssey) but I have come to expect something decent at least. This game is just not pretty. Another reviewer said it looks like an original Xbox title, which is probably not far from reality. Had the gameplay been fun the graphics could have been overlooked, but this is not the case. My time with this game made me think of the sloppy, lazy controls of Duke Nukem: Forever (I absolutely detested that game). I also couldn't help but compare this game to Dead Space, which has, for me, defined sci-fi horror gaming. Alien is a great movie franchise. Unfortunately, this game does not do the movies justice.… Expand
Jun 20, 2013Ok for 20 mins until I realized how bad the A.I. was. The NPC don't support you adequately wait till you get to the 1st Boss vs Loader Overall ACM. Aliens tactics are so facepalm compared to the AvP 2010. The worst Alien game I have ever played to date. I probably have more fun standing in the trading queue than going for a replay.
Feb 27, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So after giving it a 9/10, I started to play more of the campaign and it sucks alot, you don't care about these characters, or the A.I. for the Aliens. The graphics are good, but the thing with ACM is that it was rushed and the campaign is really short, the most disapointing thing in the entire game for me is, the final mission, at first I tought that I will have a boss battle with the Queen, but it wasn't it was just absurd. The multiplayer is actually pretty fun, you customize your Alien or Marine. ACM not being a game, or a brilliant game is good, play the multiplayer don't play the singleplayer. 7/10… Expand
Feb 13, 2013Not worth full price but OK.This is not a game you will love or hate it does have some in between ground. Graphics are dated but overall gameplay is acceptable. Co op campaign is fun but not great. MP isn't a lot new, but team death match does capture an amount of suspense as frantic action. If this game was half price it would be worth it. It's not COD or HALO. The leveling system is average. Overall an average game. Fans of the series will get some love. Big franchise lovers need to avoid it.… Expand
Mar 20, 2013Stay away from Aliens even if you are a fan of the franchise. I made the mistake thinking it'd be fun but the game is terrible. The campaign is just 5 hrs of mindless shooting, cutscenes look like they were made on last gen consoles, your AI team mates never shut the hell up and are uninteresting and the ending was awful. Co-op makes the experience even worse as you are constantly shoving your friends into walls because nearly 75% of the game will take place in incredibly tight corridors. Multiplayer is also a bummer as playing as the xenomorphs is clunky and awful and the online community will probably be dead in a couple of months or less. What you see in the trailers and vidocs is not what is in the game. It is a lie as the game was outsourced to developer TimeGate and Gearbox only worked on portions of the multiplayer. This is arguably one of the worst games I have ever played and no one should suffer through this excuse of a game. Save your $60 or just play the AVP videogame that came out a couple years ago. Yes, even that game is better the Colonial Marines… Expand
Feb 26, 2013This game is not great, bottom line. However, that does not mean that it can't be fun to play! I've had a blast playing both the single player, and the very enjoyable multiplayer. I would say, don't pay full price for this (my biggest regret) but once the price drops, give it a shot. The issue that I noticed most, was the poor graphics. It looks like a game from the early years of 360. However, the gameplay is fun, especially with friends in co-op or versus. I was definitely disappointed after having this game hyped so much, but it is not a total loss as some reviews are making it sound. Again, don't pay full price, but if Aliens is your thing, or you are even remotely interested in how the gameplay sounds, look into it down the road.… Expand
Apr 6, 2013For the past 6-7 years, I've been waiting for this game to come out since it was first announced. I was amazed by the gameplay demo from E3. It looked genuinely terrifying. Marines were getting picked off from the shadows by lurking xenomorphs, the lighting was dark and atmospheric, you got to wield iconic weapons and equipment to fight off the monstrosities. The whole thing looked amazing.
But then the game came out and I got the biggest kick in the nuts from any game I have ever played in my life. The final product is in no way similar to that magnificent demo we saw. In fact, it was much worse and practically unfinished. The textures are horribly outdated by at least 6 years. The adaptive lighting we saw was nowhere near as impressive as the demos. Even the AI suffered horribly. Xenomorphs mindlessly Zerg rush you rather than sneak around in the shadows, and your AI controlled teammates are practically useless. There's no real details on what happened, but the fact remains that Gearbox has somehow managed to rush a game that has been in development for over 6 years.
To say that this game is buggy is an understatement. I've been left wondering if anyone has even playtested this prior to release. Probably the most damning of problems with this game is how easy it is to lose your progress in this game. Rather than creating a save file onto the hard drive like ever other game on the 360, ACM instead saves directly to your cache. This means that whenever you start the game without signing in to your gamertag, you lose everything. Campaign progress, multiplayer ranks and unlocks, everything, gone. You'd think it could be avoided by simply turning off auto-run and being careful to sign in before playing, but you'd be wrong. Mandatory updates for the game automatically sign you out before installation and are effectively a death sentence for your saves.
I seriously hate calling anything a "COD clone", but what else can I say? Guns have attachments and different skins and half of the game is spent on fighting Weyland Yutani mercenaries. That's right, you fight other humans in an Aliens game. Sure, I expected Wey-Yu to make an appearance in the story at some point, but these guys show up on the second level and utterly destroy any sense of fear that the xenos built up in the introductory level. There's hardly any tension in the game as you carry all of your weapons on your back. So, whenever one gun is low on ammo, you just switch it out for another until you find more ammo for it.
You'd think that since the game's story was approved by Fox as being the canonical sequel to Aliens and Alien 3, that the writers would go all out to make sure the story was amazing, right? Sadly that's not the case. Indeed, most of the game's plot seems like an excuse to just revisit locations from the movies. ACM hardly answers any questions from the movies, nor does it add anything exciting. They had even brought back a supposedly dead character from Aliens and handwaved the details of his survival with him literally saying, "That's a story for another time". If that's not a copout in story writing then I don't know what is. Even the characters aren't that interesting. They could be amusing at times due to their banter, but there's not much for the player to get attached to.
The multiplayer is probably the only thing that's genuinely worthwhile with this game. Playing with your friends in versus mode is great fun. While playing as Marines, you organize together a survival strategy, and as Xenos, you work together to harass and hunt down the marines. It kind of like running a haunted house and feels familiar with playing as an special infected in Left 4 Dead. Fun aside, the multiplayer also suffers from it's share of problems. Just like the campaign, bugs are prevalent and quite common. Also, lag is a major factor that can severely break the balance of the game and make it almost impossible to play properly.
All in all, I'd say rent the game if you are still interested in playing it. But if you insist on buying, please wait for the price to drop and more patches to be released. Because at this point in time, this game needs a lot more work to be worth considering spending money on. From what I'm seeing Gearbox is still working on more patches to clear up the bugs. They have already tweaked the AI, but probably won't do much to improve the graphics on the 360. If I notice any fixes worthy of changing my score, I'll edit as I deem appropriate. But for now, my score stands as is.… Expand
Mar 18, 2013I had high hopes for Aliens: Colonial Marines, but like most people who played this game, I am deeply disappointed. The story is so bare bones it does not even matter if it is cannon or not. The graphics have a numerous amount of problems like screen tearing, slow down, and low resolution textures. I also experience a lot of glitches will playing, sometimes it would shut the whole game down. The fellow marines that are controlled by the AI are terrible and tend to get in the way a lot. The enemy AI is not any better. Xenomorphs do not act like their counterpart in the films, running right in front of you waiting to be shot. The 3 boss fights are also a walk in the park, giving the player no challenge. The gunplay is alright, the weapons blend well into the universe, and the shooting is not half bad. The co-op campaign is useless as another player is unnecessary and does not add to the experience. The multiplayer has one good mode that is worth playing. The Escape mode is similar to Left 4 Dead but with enemy controlled aliens. The other multiplayer modes feel unbalanced and there is only 4 maps for each mode. Aliens: Colonial Marines might have a few easter eggs for die hard Aliens fans, but besides that I would avoid this game, especially if you are a fan of the franchise.… Expand
Mar 1, 2013Aliens Colonial Marines was a fair game. There are many faults in the game, especially graphic.
For example, you can go through the human population, and ugly graphics.
The game can be exciting at times, especially when the aliens crawling on the wall, and you can shoot them out of there. It can also be frustrating to be in the game, because sometimes you can be wrong, and when you run out of ammo, it's wrong. And there can also be scary when you play it at night, then you can scare up terribly well, because when you turn the corner, you'll find an alien team. Has often occurred to me that my heart was pounding with fear. The management only problem is that the grenade button to purchase your guess was wrong. Now, summarize the content. The game that I wrote that was fair, and you can score: Graphics: 6/10 Atmosphere: 8.5 10 Controls: 7/10 Sound: 8/10 Playing Experience: 7 10 The Game: 7/10… Expand
Jul 31, 2013Aliens was a good movie, as it mixed horror and science fiction in an interesting way. But when it comes to game all you have is just the science fiction, because players aren't really scared by monsters they can just shoot till it goes away or dies. But this game was different to me, as it did scare me, but only in the sense that I got flustered by monsters that were killing me.
The story takes place after Aliens 2, where Colonial Marines investigate a ship and find out what killed it's crew. You later encounter aliens and get stranded on it, then mercenaries from an evil corporation try to murder everyone to cover up their mistakes and crimes. You crash land on the planet and make shelter in the same building Aliens 2 took place. You proceed to pursue the mercenaries while getting hunted by the Aliens. The game does well by introducing a story that leads you across the planet so you can survive and stop the terror.
Gameplay here is very streamlined, but challenging once the difficulty is risen and certain objectives put you in harms way. But it's near impossible to do this alone, as the game goes more for co-op, but then it just get's clustered when four people try to slide themselves into a doorway like meat through a grinder. The game should have opened the levels up more and offered more to co-op.
But if you are bored and need something to pass the time this game can prove to do that, but it is far from being a light in the darkness.… Expand
Mar 26, 2013Whats bad about this game? what's good about this game? That's the easier question.
Bad graphics, dumb story, REPETITIVE GAMEPLAY, and HUMAN ENEMIES in this new creation from gearbox. I hate this game. I really do. Not because of the bad qualities, although that's a good reason, BECAUSE IT'S ALIENS AND I FEEL LIKE ITS JUST A TERRIBLE KNOCKOFF OF COD. Now i can tell what you what happened to that awesome demo in 2012, whatever it is, it's aliens colonial marines. This.... Game isn't. This is a shooter that doesn't hold up to its competition in the slightest. This is quite possibly, the worst game I have ever played. I know that there are worse games. But I haven't played them. Here's a challenge, play on ultimate badass mode, alone, with no one else even in the room to talk to, and TRY to have fun. This game makes me sad, gearbox has fallen. They have sealed their reputation not only as liars and cheats,but they have destroyed their reputation by making a false demo, making false promises, and using the hype machine to boost sales. DON'T WASTE YOU'RE MONEY ON THIS. If you really want a good aliens game, try the avp game that came out in 2010. But this game isn't worth a triple a price if it isn't a triple a game.… Expand
Mar 13, 2013I think this is a great game but I put in the disc before signing in to my profile and once I was at main menu it reset my profile on the game.I am very disappointed about this I was a high lvl and I finishe the campaign once they fix this I will play again my gamer tag is: Anthony Ferris I was lvl 17 for aliens and lvl 34 for marines please fix this and my profile if fixed let me know
Mar 16, 2013I'm surprised after so many years of waiting for the this game to come to find the the game is full of glitches and bug with a average story line. the only thing i could so i liked was the multiplayer and the weapon customization team up with friend online is so much better than playing the game alone
Mar 16, 2013It's phenomenal, if you're the type of loony who licks windows for a living. More than angry, the game just makes me sad. It could, should and probably would have been good if it had been released a few years ago; unbroken. I was going to round this off with something positive to say about the game, but there's just nothing. Sorry.
Apr 27, 2013This game was horrible the gameplay, the graphics of the lights where so bright, the story was bad couldnt finish it, poorly designed weapons that dont even kill anything that well and really buggy
Mar 22, 2013This game is a fail, no matter what anyone says. The graphics cant run right on my Xbox, and start to look pretty junky after the first hour. Enemy and partner A.I are horrible, and O'neal did not kill one alien my whole play through. Multiplayer is glitchy and the marines are very overpowered against their alien enemies. There is no survival, which is a shame. And included to all of that, the game is just plain ol' unfinished. Literally, my gun disappeared at moments, O'neal walked through walls, and the power loader sequences are literally UNPLAYABLE. Even the lore is horrible. It does continue off of the movie ALIENS, but ignores Alien 3 and 4. By now, I've had it with this game. The reason I have not given it a 0 was because of the easter eggs, but thats it. Game over, man.… Expand
Mar 25, 2013Boring story without anything nice dont buy the game what they have done on the demo isn't truth Graphics are good but not enough, the only thing it's nice but with a lots of bugs it's the multiplayer stuff!
Mar 31, 2013Let me first start of by saying I've been waiting for this game ever since 2008 when it was announced for current gen consoles. First off It is a very short game 5-7 hours even on the hardest difficulty which I have done. But the first thing you'll notice is the graphics, which are quit dated to be honest. All of the negatives aside this game is great for aliens fans. The new types of aliens make sense with in the aliens universe and are quit cool to say the least. In all aliens is a okay game that need more time in development.… Expand
Apr 2, 2013You have to take this game for what it is and not look any further than that. Single player took me about 7 hours to complete while farming all the achievements. And another 10 hours Co-op when my bro came over. The game has a well rounded feel and does include some suspense walking around corners; kind of like what Doom has going on. Graphics are great, Sound was great, level design was very detailed, especially places with massive amounts of alien hives. If you were expecting to replace a giant franchise game with this you will be disappointed. If you just play through it from start to finish, its a decent game. I rented this from RedBox on a Friday and returned on a Sunday with a free game night code. I got my $2 worth, and would recommend you to do the same for a good 2 days of gameplay.… Expand
Apr 4, 2013I love aliens and I was excited for colonial marines but when I finally played it I didn't get the aliens experience I was looking for instead I got a game with bland graphics not so interesting story line and awkward glitches but its not a horrible game. the sound is just awesome the multiplayer is fun but it does have problems. it may not be the scary aliens game we've been hoping for but that scene with the boilers scared me by trying not to piss them off by moving or else they will blow up on you. the story didn't really make sense and the visuals might be off and it gets really glitchy on the console version but the pc version is better maybe just a little bit. overall its a mediocre game so I really don't recommend this game but if you want it then ok butt its probably better to get something else.… Expand
Apr 24, 2013I am really a hardcore fan of the Alien-Universe, even Cosplaying a USCM. Reading all the comic from Aliens vs Predator. And i loved the older A vs P games. I waited deperately for this game. Had it on Pre-order based on the first trailers. But i never got that disappointed in my life from a game. The story is nearly non existent, the game mechanics dont need tweaking they need to be exchanged.
The graphics are way out of date, (strangely the first gameplay trailer showed differently)
And its no tension. The Aliens are the utmost stupid creatures i could ever encounter in a game.
And wtf with the fighting against Humans all the time?
This is "Call of Duty: Alien Front", nothing more.
This game is the JJ Abrams of Videogames, And no i dont mean that in a good way. It destroyed everything the Alien franchise stood up for.
NO Horror or Survival, NO tension. NO shocking moments. Just shoot and run down the next corridor.
I will better re-install the PC version of A vs.P 1 instead of playing this game one minute longer.… Expand
Apr 24, 2013It feels old, and outdated, but it is nowhere as bad as it's made out to be. A good rental, and if you can find it for say US$ 20 or your regional equivalent, I'd think about it seriously.
Apr 27, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have been a fan of the alien movies ever since I was 7 so when I picked up this game from Redbox I was actually pretty excited to play it. I've heard from many that the game was terrible and in my opinion..... it wasn't THAT bad. My problem with the game was that it was kinda mediocre.
There was nothing really special about the game in the gameplay. There's one level where deep below underground and you have no weapons and have to slowly get out without alerting any aliens. It was actually tense and felt like an alien game. Weapon customizing was good and the story... to be honest I had no idea what the hell was going on at certain times and the lack of character depth didn't exactly help.
Why am I trying to save people I don't care about?… Expand
May 4, 2013WHY?? WHY!??? i am a huge fan of the original Aliens movie and i was expecting so much from from Gearbox, where is the emersive story that we have been promised?? and the why we are fighting humans for the most of the time?? in the aliens game??? and the worst thing is that apparently there is one guy from the original crew who is still alive, i swear after that you will be like... WhAAAAT. As for the story, it's just bad and the graphics are really bad even on the PC and the game is so easy, if you want to play this game i really reccommend playing it on super soldier difficulty because on easiest difficuly you can just run, run and run and the enemies will just look at you and stare for ten minutes. This game also offers a broken AI and a Multiplayer but there is not really that much to say, nothing original here. Thankfully this game has drop in drop out co-op mode so you don't have to suffer by yourself. Co-Op is the only way to play this game, believe me.… Expand
Jun 3, 2013If you've played AVP, then you'll remember that the Marine campaign wasn't that great and not very entertaining. Well imagine playing as that the entire game. What you get is This is more than this is a station. Over 9000 glitches, bland graphics, and non challenging enemies, this makes me face palm at the entire Alien franchise. I borrowed this game from a friend and I still felt ripped off. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this game. Not even if it's free. If you want to play a good game with Xenomorph's and Predators, try AVP… Expand
Jun 3, 2013Man, the most frustrating thing about this game is its potential. If they made the xenomorphs a threat instead of retarded T-Rex wannabes, it would have been better. If they had dialogue that wasn't written by a high schooler, it would have been better. If they made the atmosphere creepy at all, it would have been better. When played with a friend, it's fun to go through, as it's not completely broken and entertaining to make fun of certain elements. But overall, it seems like an unfinished game from a studio that didn't really care.… Expand
Dec 7, 2013Good conception, good environments, solid graphics, poor execution. Alien colonial marines had the potential to be one of the best games of 2013, but fell far short. Aliens. Aliens is part of the title yet the aliens are shot dead within 5 bullets, it took 5 rounds to but one down in the movies, why have they done this. Although after all the complaints they have finally made the aliens far harder, making the game somewhat channeling.

Jun 10, 2013Aliens colonial marines is a mixed bag it starts of in the middle for me i like its tone at the beginning then it starts to go down in lots of places the game also feels weird and sluggish when you even just walk and trust me the animations in this game are wow just terrible the graphics are mediocre but i didnt care for that cause of the world i was in but the gameplay is even terrible when they throw in humans!!! thats right humans you dont even fight only the xenos once the humans arrive you are put into the most generic fps ever but the xenos AI might have been improved from its release but i dont know they still attack walls sometimes so i suggest stay away from this game unless you in it for the multiplayer the multiplayer is scary at lots of times when the xeno players get the drop on you which they will. The only reason i played aliens colonial marines as long as i did was that multiplayer its fun and addicting but id wait till the game is worth like 10 dollars to even give it a try cause of its lack of maps and modes… Expand
Jun 17, 2013Not much to say besides this game suffers from terrible characters and falsely advertised content from the original E3 demo that showed much higher detail, but the final product was poorly created and suffered from idiotic artificial intelligence, yet somehow still managed to entertain me at some points.
3 out of 10
Jul 3, 2013gave a 1 for at least trying..that is it. terrible, terrible, terrible game. everything glitches, I was attacked thru walls, enemies disappeared thru walls. terribly repetitive combat that made it painful to continue. terrible story. "allies" did nothing or would shoot at the ceiling, doors, floor, or just the air. some of the computer files you're suppost to find are not collectable. what I mean is it wouldn't let me pick them up. gun upgrades that make little to no difference. sadly stupid enemies that made me actually laugh but that was the only joy I received from this game. sooooo happy I only rented it considering I was going to preorder it. and for anyone that just says im a "hater" or I need to get a life all I have to say is I've been a gamer my whole life, I love games. I remember getting the aliens vs. predator vs. marines game for my original Xbox where you could create units and control them in a third person view. I loved that game when it first came out. you royally screwed up gearbox lost a customer for life. would never give 65 bucks to a company that laughs in my face.… Expand
Jul 29, 2013I'm a huge 'Aliens' fan, watching all the films including the 'Aliens vs Predator' films. Expectations: I had quite big expectations going into this video game, due to the E3 2011 demo which was specifically designed to be solely used for that E3 demo. Scores: Graphics: 0/10 Campaign: 2/10 Sound: 8/10 Gameplay: 4/10 Multiplayer: 7/10 Final Score: 4.2/10 Final Verdict: I didn't realise there was any graphics in this game until I saw the textures which would have been good in 2002, the less said about the campaign the better (the ending is blatantly a set up for a sequel.) Inside this game the sound is the best part of this game simply because Gearbox actually used the same sounds for the xenomorphs and guns which were used in the movies. The ganeplay in this "game" is awful, the controls are laid-out terribly and they are highly unresponsive. The multiplayer is also another aspect dragging this title out of the dirt but the controls for the xenomorphs are wonky at best.… Expand
Oct 4, 2013So I am a big fan of the series and the movies this game was 7 years in the making it really didn't come to par with some of the other games that came around that time. the graphics are lack luster and should have been better. the campaign was about 5 hours long, and remember this game took 7 years to develop. now the story wasn't all that bad but I will not spoil it for you but the final boss is to god dame easy. But I had fun with the game to playing with friends is the only way to go and the multiplayer just feels unfinished. now there are hidden guns that you can find threw out the game from the second movie "aliens" witch when you find them you can use them and so forth. now to really get in to the multiplayer you can customize your character any way you wont but not with full control you can pick a male or female customize the color of the armor and have 4 different emblems. with the aliens you choose between 4 different aliens with sertine skills and unlocks like changing the way they look. you can also customize you guns for the marines but that's really it. you get to go into a ship like the one in Prometheus witch is cool but that doesn't really help. this game flunked mostly because of the high expectations of it luckly I didn't run into any glitches my first time threw. its not a bad game but its not a so called good game. If your a fan of the series pick it up but if you not its not for you I give this game a 4/10.… Expand
Aug 29, 2013If you love the Alien-universe and FPS this is a fun game. At the current price the game is well worth it. It is no Half-life 2 by any means but if you enjoy all sorts of FPS (Doom 3, Quake 4, Turok, Prey, Timeshift, etc) and not just whatever is trending on TotalBiscuit and such, you might just enjoy it. The fact is I had more fun playing ACM than Borderlands. My only complaint is that the game is quite short. Apart from that, a solid fun FPS where you fight hordes of Aliens in legendary Hadley's Hope using some cool weapons and gadgets.… Expand
Aug 24, 2013let me get one thing straight if you are an Aliens fan you will like this game if you are a person who likes a GOOD game you will hate this game
so i heard from my friends this game was good so i bought it on Xbox Live Marketplace 40 $40 WORST MISTAKE EVER!!! (DO NOT BUY THIS GAME)
so the singleplayer sucked the AI was so lazy that my "marines" were standing there watching me die not even shooting at all the Aliens don't act like Aliens at all they just walk up to you and hit you in the face once then stand there for 5 minutes then hit you again this game was so rushed with half of the textures missing. like i went up to a console and it looked like a 2D 16Bit texture piece of (yes i know this is Xbox but that is just stupid) the gun sounds are ok but the big issues are the graphics and horrible AI pathing it looks like a 2 year old made this game.
anyways now to the multiplayer
MARINES ARE SO OP IN MULTIPLAYER i could not kill them as an alien i literaly ran into their face and hit them 20 times and then died and they didn't take like any damage at all because they have armor which aparently is made out of Adamantium or something it is so bad controlling a Alien so slow and half the time you get stuck on a wall and die severs are horrible and lack of gametypes and gameplay makes this game REALLY HORRIBLE
now what i would rate this game a ZERO A BIG FAT ZERO
Sega never ever let Gearbox make another Aliens game ever again please let Rebelion make another game because Aliens vs Predator is 20 times better than this piece of and for all of those people out there that give this game a 1 or above actually pley the game without useing modds people make to make the game look better on pc because this is just a discrace… Expand
Sep 10, 2013Rent it maybe only if your curious about multiplayer because thats the only thing that isn't painfully average or bad in this game. Do not buy, if you skip this game you won't miss anything.
Oct 8, 2013this game is god awful. it destroys my mind on why my dad bought this piece of dog the a.i is weird and and the game play is just depressing. Don't buy this, save your money!
Nov 9, 2013This Game for sure has lacked to offer what was promised; Whilst the Story and gameplay throughout the unpolished setting is not up to scratch, despite these issues i could still appreciate the Great Soundtrack! and character tags from Aliens the movie, i myself am i alien fan and in contrast to the movies overocarse this is a let down, but we have seen let-downs before of this genre, it is unfortunate that it could not live up to what could have been a very successful game but i believe is still worth a borrow from all alien fans out there… Expand
Nov 26, 2013Not great but not total I must admit, I went in with extremely low expectations. It's worth a play if you're an Aliens fan. The sound effects and soundtrack capture the feel of the film and the environments were reminiscent of the film as well. The story was interesting enough. Other than that, not really much I can recommend. The AI is pretty horrible, the graphics are relatively bland, especially in cut-scenes, and multiplayer is...meh, if you can even find anyone playing the game and tolerate the lag. Oh, and I haven't even mentioned the numerous glitches/bugs. I don't understand how you can ruin a game that draws from such excellent source material. If you're an Aliens fan, give it a rent. Anyone else, only if you're a masochist.… Expand
May 6, 2014A bit meh, but if you're a CoD fan (because you don't know any better) you should feel at home in this shooter. This is basically the shooter equivalent to skyrim when it comes to bugginess and glitches. It's ugly as Skyrim but that's where the similarities end. The smart-gun is similar to the bfg from Doom but with many attachments and alt. fire modes. If you are that adamant about playing it, rent it. Why would you buy a licensed game, people!? A good game to rent if you have nothing better to do. Story's bare-bones.… Expand
May 8, 2014My expectations were incredibly high, unfortunately after six long years of waiting through delay after delay, I get slapped in the face with a half assed story, Uninteresting characters, PS2 quality graphics, crappy textures and idiotic AI. Please for the love of all that's good, don't buy this game!!!!
May 4, 2014Aliens: Colonials Marines. Since it's release, it's been the epitome of what it truly means to be a **** game. Though, is that necessarily true? I will state now, that the game does not, under any circumstances, live up to it's Demo in any way, shape, or form. But, since the release of it's graphical and gameplay patches that have actually made it playable (Compared to it's terrible initial build), it is truly a good experience for your average gamer, and an amazing one for any Aliens fan. The Gunplay works well for the type of game that it is, though Marine v Xeno combat is usually a tad frustrating, as well as unenjoyable at times. The Story rings well, and the multiplayer/dlc only strengthens the package. Aliens: Colonial marines is quite an average experience, but the fact that it's Aliens really bolsters it's offerings and makes for an exceptional experience. If the game were to ever receive a total overhaul built for next-gen, akin to it's original demo, it would definitely erase the horrible image it's current version has garnered.… Expand
Oct 23, 2014DON'T PLAY THIS GAME, IT IS ONE OF THE WORST GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED, GRAPHICS= **** AI= **** STORY=****. THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS GAME. THE ONLY OK THING I CAN SAY ABOUT IT IS THAT I DIDN'T HATE THE FIRST MISSION.
Jun 10, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just don't understand how in an "ALIENS!!!!" game you have to battle HUMANS!!!! in almost all of the levels.The story is pretty short 10 levels (3 alien,3 call of duty, 3 mixed bag levels+1 crappy boss battle).The boss battle is WTF levels (push a button that is it). The AI is one of the worst i have ever seen. Multiplayer is miserable and the graphics are "meh".So my opinion is no one should buy this game, hardcore alien fans will be disappointed, new comers will be disgusted, and multiplayer maniacs will not feel happy… Expand
Jun 21, 2014This game wasn't all that bad. However, it was terribly over-hyped and failed to deliver everything shown in the trailers, with more bugs than xenomorphs. But there is still enjoyment in this game once you get past the bugs and the outdated graphics, because killing xenos with a pulse rifle never gets old. 4/10
Not a great, generation defining game by any stretch of the imagination, but still fun for Aliens fans. Campaign is a little too short, and the graphics aren't the best. Sound effects are great for the most part, very true to Aliens. I probably would've regretted buying it at release day price, but worth picking up when it hits the bargain bin for Aliens fans. Not game of the year by any stretch, but I don't see this game as a 4-4.5 out of 10 when judged against some of the games that get 8.5-9 in reviews.… Collapse
Apr 3, 2013There was a lot of hope for Aliens: Colonial Marines but it seems the gaming world is let down with another attempt to make a successful film tie in. The review should give you a few good reasons why the game suffers but other aspects such as the overused catchphrase 'Stay frosty!' and anticlimactic ending are a couple more to add to the list and this is why you should wait until this game gets thrown into the bargain bin before you purchase.
Apr 1, 2013I'm not that witty, but I am pretty vulgar—as a result, all I can say is that if Aliens: Colonial Marines had been fished out of a Marine's colon during emergency surgery it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Mar 24, 2013An unremarkable FPS plagued by dim AI and repetitive set-pieces. [Apr 2013, p.68]

The South finished at the top of a national study, but it's not a proud position — the region is stuffed with seven of America's top 10 fattest states.
Titled "F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2011," an obesity report released Thursday examines giant waistlines below the Mason-Dixon line, even referring to the Southeastern region as "the Diabetes Belt."
Between 2008 and 2010, Alabama finished second and Tennessee finished fourth nationwide for obesity rates. Both states followed Oklahoma for the fastest-growing rates of obesity.
"Today, the state with the lowest adult obesity rate [Colorado] would have had the highest rate in 1995," said Jeff Levi, executive director of the Trust for America's Health, a nonprofit advocacy group behind the study.
Seven states — including Alabama and Georgia — have doubled their obesity rates since 1995. Tennessee's went up 90 percent.
No state experienced an obesity decline, the report shows.
With 34.4 percent of its residents considered obese, Mississippi has the nation's highest obesity rate, with Colorado's 19.8 percent the lowest.
No Southern state cracked the bottom 10. Eight fell within the top 10 for diabetes, a disease linked to obesity.
"I'm sure weather plays a certain role," said Dr. Keith Weaver, a general practitioner in Hixson.
In other parts of the country, snow- and winter-related sports such as skiing, snowboarding and ice skating get people out of the house during the coldest months, but such sports don't really exist down South, so people sit inside and pack on the pounds.
"Winter is just a transition from one type of [exercise] to another in a place like Colorado," he said. "When it hits 40 degrees in the South, people hole up and hibernate."
Weaver blamed the national epidemic on two interrelated problems — young professionals too busy to eat anything except fast food, and a lack of parental control over what children eat.
"As people have gotten busier, we're not passing on good exercise habits to the next generation," he said. "Fast food is our big downfall. Even if you get the chicken sandwich or whatever, it's not good for you."
The report distinguishes between two often-used terms — overweight and obese — saying people who are overweight have too much body weight for their height. Obesity is defined as an "excessively high amount of body fat" in relation to lean body mass, according to the study.
Two-thirds of adults and nearly one-third of children and teens now are obese or overweight in the nation, the report states.
The report touches on non-health-related costs associated with such a rapid collective widening, including $73 billion in "lost productivity." People can't work because they're too large or because they die early from heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure — all linked to obesity.
Americans spend more than $150 billion annually on health care linked to obesity concerns, the report states.
Other statistics look at lost potential job opportunities — nearly one-third of Americans between 17 and 24 are too heavy to join the military, for instance.
The study also suggests that about half of the more than 1.1 million incoming and current firefighters are overweight, while about a third are obese.
Winter sports? I'm sure it's got nothing to do with the pulled pork, bbq and slaw, sweet tea, and fast food...

Outlook 2010 minimize to tray on startup
I just upgraded to 2010. With 2007 I used to have Outlook start with the system, minimized to the tray. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it working properly again!
Right now I have a shortcut in the startup folder, with the properties set to run minimized. The problem is that it minimizes to the task bar. I want it to go directly to the tray.
I had it working just fine before, but I can't remember how I did it. I'm pretty sure it didn't involve the startup folder, but I could be wrong. Looked through my tasks and couldn't find anything either.
I have "hide when minimized" checked already. When I maximize it and minimize again it goes to the tray, but this is really annoying to keep doing.
Tried searches and pulling up nothing. What am I doing wrong?
|My System Specs
|10 Oct 2010
hide it to the tray. theres an option when you right click the tray icon that says "hide when minimized." that way it will run without taking up space on the taskbar, just an icon in the tray.

2009 Toyota 4Runner Recalls
The accelerator pedal can become trapped under an unsecured or incompatible floor mat. This can cause the accelerator pedal to stick in the wide open position, increasing the risk of a crash. At this time, the remedy plan is still under development, but will most likely involve modification or replacement of the accelerator pedal and Toyota all-weather floor mats. No schedule of owner notification is available at this time. The Toyota recall number is 90L; the Lexus number is 90LG.
These vehicle were sold without the required load carrying captivity modification label. Dealers will mail the corrected label to vehicle owners. Owners have the option of requesting that the dealer install the label. This recall is expected to begin on May 27, 2010.
Southeast Toyota is recalling 2005–2011 models for failing to comply with federal safety standards on tire selection and rims. Affected models were sold without the proper load-carrying capacity modification labels, which may cause the driver to overload the vehicle, increasing the chance of a crash. Dealers will mail the correct labels to the customer or install the label free of charge.

The Palm Beach Story is a 1942 Screwball Comedy from writer/director Preston Sturges. The story concerns a New York couple who are struggling to make ends meet. Gerry, the wife (Claudette Colbert) comes up with a Zany Scheme to divorce her husband Tom (a struggling inventor played by Joel McCrea) so she can get a new rich husband to help her ex-husband with his plans for an above-ground airport. Gerry runs away to Palm Beach to get her divorce, Tom right behind her because he disapproves of the whole thing, and she captures the eye of one of the richest men in the world, Hackensacker (Rudy Vallee). Tom butts in and has to pretend to be his wife's brother, and he becomes the target of affection from the multiple-divorced sister of Hackensacker, the princess Centimillia (Mary Astor). As they get deeper and deeper into this scheme, Gerry begins to have second thoughts.Hilarity Ensues even further.

You can do things like CAD or Photoshop in either. People tend to do more the art part here and the technical part there. For code, CS is it. ``` print ("hello world") ``` There is also a code commenting system on the site. So code snippets can be done that way.
