8. Drake! We Are Leaving!
Being a huge fan of Left 4 Dead, Aliens: Colonial Marines escape mode was music to my ears. Escape is the equivalent of versus on Left 4 Dead where eight players play as either four marines or four xenos. I assume the objective for the marines is go through stage after stage till they finally reach their evacuation point. For the xenos they've to simply kill the marines before the end of the stage. I love this idea so much because it captures the scene in Aliens where the marines are against the odds and all they can do is retreat. Another factor that will add more fun is the cooperative aspect of escape mode. Sharing shock moments with friends as specialized xenos immobilize comrades, forcing fellow players to decide whether to save them or not, while their indecision leaves them vulnerable to potential danger. And how can we possibly forget the fear factor that if you wander off on your own, you're almost guaranteed to be killed? And very brutally I'd imagine. Escape mode holds the potential for countless hours of additive fun and plenty of reason to continue playing after you've exhausted the single player.
