10 Video Games BROKEN By Their AI

10. Aliens: Colonial Marines

When the long-anticipated Aliens: Colonial Marines was released in 2013, players found themselves surprised at the, erm, "experience" it contained. Despite the fact that production had taken longer than expected, the titular aliens were about as unnerving as a kitten in a silly costume - and about as deadly to boot.

The spooky extraterrestrials would aimlessly wander about in circles, and seemed to care very little if they saw you or not, instead pottering about like your nan at a particularly exciting bake sale.

Turns out, this was down to an error so simple it's almost heartbreaking: there was a typo in the xenomorphs coding. Fixing said typo in the game's script made the peaceful critters suddenly was more aggressive, and way more bloodthirsty.

As much as this is hilarious, when you think of the countless painstaking hours the production team but in to be sabotaged by a small typo, you can't help but empathise with their suffering.
