10 Terrible Video Games With Incredible Endings

Aliens: Colonial Marines should have been a blockbuster classic for the ages. Set immediately after the classic 1986 James Cameron flick, Colonial Marines features iconic characters such as Corporal Dwayne Hicks, Bishop and Michael Weyland, but fell painfully short when it came to living up to the series' continuity. The claustrophic paranoia that made the first two films such classics was nowhere to be found, the dialogue was atrociously simplified, and the characters were all painfully one-dimensional.

However, crappy dialogues and poorly-written characters are small blemishes against the mess that was the game's many technical bugs.

With all of that being said, there's some decent fun to be had in how the game's storyline wraps up, for those who are able to make it that far.

Having been confronted with one final boss battle with a Xenomorph Queen, Captain Cruz sacrifices himself for the greater good by launching a dropship into the Xenomorph and booting them both out into space. What then follows is a tense exchange with Weyland, who is executed by Hicks and revealed to be an android.

Bishop closes out the game by connecting himself up to the Weyland android, with his 'We've got everything we need' line as the ship drifts off into space creating an ominious final shot.
