Very interesting. I want to play this game more now to learn more about the Alien storyline. It will explain gaps between Aliens and Alien 3 for example to have it make more sense.

Hate to say it, but I wouldn't get your hopes up too high for Colonial Marines. I used to work at Gearbox, and the development of that game has been a total train wreck, going on what, 6 years now? Gearbox isn't even making the game, except for the multiplayer. Primary development was outsourced to TimeGate Studios, which has a less than stellar past.
I hope it proves me wrong, as I still have alot of friends still working at Gearbox, but I am expecting it to be average at best.

EyeGuy,
Still do games. Working for a new company in Austin called Armature Studio. Several of us used to work for Retro Studios in Austin making the Metroid Prime series.

I liked the Metroid prime games, especially the first one.

Imagine my surprise when reading another gaming forum and saw a reference to a post on Texags. This quote has been posted a lot recently around the web, I just never realized it was from here.
Mugwort obviously knew what he was talking about.
