10 Reasons Why Aliens: Colonial Marines Is Worse Than A Face Hug

8. A Team of TOO Ultimate Bad Asses

Again the developers missed the mark with the marines, as in Aliens, Private Hudson epitomised the mindset of a USMC with his all talk and no trousers character. Talking up his team's 'ultimate bad ass' status with 'Sonic-Electronic Ball-Breakers' (which it is still unknown what they actually are) before his iconic line of 'Game over man, game over!' when it all hits the fan. The marines in A:CM are the complete opposite, with next to no personality, they are actually invulnerable, you can actually stay next to one of them and use them as a shield as no matter how much damage your fellow NPC's take, they will not die unless its necessary for the story.

I'm just a humble wannabe writer from the midlands, who reads too much, watches too much tv, and hopes to one day be at the helm of some dramatic brilliance of my own. But for now, the likes of Breaking Bad and anything Stephen King are far too distracting.
