Aliens sure are awesome, aren’t they? They are the ultimate killing machine! They’re super sweet-looking! They star in two of the best sci-fi films ever made!
They still make Nintendo DS games worth caring about, and Aliens games worth paying attention. My proof: Aliens Infestation, the brand-new DS game that merges Aliens with Metroid.
Aliens Infestation, for the Nintendo DS, was already looking like one of the last interesting games for the handheld, since it brings back fond memories of Konami’s excellent side-scrolling Aliens arcade game of 1990.
Aliens: Colonial Marines seeks to create the terror and tension of key moments in the Aliens movie franchise, using high-end graphics and a first-person view to immerse the player. It’s DS counterpart, Infestation, just lets you shoot things.
Popular comic artist Chris Bachalo breathes life into the 19 space marines doomed to die this September in Sega and WayForward’s Aliens: Infestation for the Nintendo DS.
The Nintendo DS game based on the Aliens franchise that leaked more than two years ago looks like its finally going to happen. Proof? Aliens: Infestation for the DS, a side-scrolling, alien-shooting platformer, was just rated by the ESRB.
