How is Johnston a woman? Johnston has a TOM SELLECK MUSTACHE.

We got this game in the UK like two weeks ago, it's a pretty short game and full of nods to fans of the franchise. I'm pretty certain that first queen encounter is designed so that you always lose your first marine there.

So is she just invincible until you lose a marine? Because it looks like Ryan lost a guy mostly because he wasn't using his dodge roll very well, plus he kept wasting a bunch of bullets instead of aiming at the head.

Game over, maaan.

This game looks awesome! Also, I love ALIENS.

This is going on my top ten list for 2011, I really think the game is that good. They could have improved upon the suspense by randomly placing enemy encounters and not having them respawn every time you enter a room again, but overall I just love this style of game.

This just might go on my to-buy DS games list... It looks really, really awesome. I'm so happy games like this haven't been forgotten yet. I know it's unlikely to happen anytime soon, but you never know!

Fun trivia: WayForward, the developer, has two games with the subtitle of Infestation releasing within two weeks of each other.

This game looks kind of awesome.

Does this run well on the 3DS? If it does I will probably get it.

MAKE A VERSION OF THIS FOR LIVE and PSN PLEASE!!!!!

seemed to me like the sound/firing rate on the assault rifle was a bit too slow.

I think the only way I could care lessa bout anything Alien or Predator related is if it were Transformers or Star Wars related. I mean, it's a good franchise and all, but it has been thirty years and it's not _THAT_ good. I ignore these things as if they had "Imaginez" in the title.

Troll harder buddy.

Dissagreeing with my comment doesn't make it a troll. The above are all dead horses that they keep kicking. They seem to be the "go to" franchises when you need to make a game, but don't have any good ideas.

I never agreed or disagreed with your comment. But feel free to continue.

look at the animation on that, goddamn! Bravo!

I want more Drew on quick looks.

Drew play through all the Professor Layton games!

Suddenly, I want to watch America's Most Wanted. The background music has a little hint of that theme.

I Totally agree w/Drew, Aliens VS Predator 2 rocks, and I wish steam had it, just the first one as far as I know(will check again). I have A+P2 on disc I think, and even a expansion(of sorts) they did, but IDK...

Whenever I see a hand-held I just think.... motion sickness.

i love most of wayforwards work, and it looks like I'm gonna like this

Finally! My question of whether or not this is bug hunt will be answered!

Edit: IT IS!

I always keep my DS handy for close encounters.

DUDE, SPOILERS

Not a 3DS game? More like WayBehind. Ohoho.

When I play X-COM I name all my soldiers after Aliens characters.

So I guess technically this game is a third person cover based shooter.

The music in this game is awesome. Perfect fit.

Perfect timing, I've been looking for something to play on my DS.

wow this looks awesome

CAT!

Ryan's awful navigation skills always make QLs like these more entertaining. Looks like a neat game, if I wasn't already working through one like it (Monster Tale), I might go pick it up.

Why didn't the xenomorph appear on the motion tracker?

Zero stars!

Looks alright, I need a decent DS Metroidvania to wash the taste of Monster Tale out of my mouth. It should be illegal to put that much backtracking in a game.

@Groundings:

You buggin.

@Branthog: Predators. I agree with you fully. Star Wars, yeah, it's getting stale now. Alien and Transformers, nahhhhh. You buggin.

Huh? lol

Yup. Third person 2D side-scrolling cover based shooter. Trailblazing new genre :D

@Tennmuerti: just made it full screen. guess my eyesight is a little better than yours :)

Awww yeah Drew sitting in on a quick look.

Anyone else agree that NDS quick looks tend to be the most booring? It's just not a very exiting system to watch someone play with the small screen and fairly primitive games.

I cried a little when the Xenomorph was unable to crawl into the vent from where Ryan was shooting at it.  Also, do the facehuggers only do physical attacks?  It seems with the permanent death aspect of the game that you should be able to be impregnated.

All right, a wild Drew appears and does a Quick Look!! Good job keeping Ryan on message, Drew ;-)

Nobody yells Space Marines!! in a cockney accent.

The guys at WayForward are obvious fans of Alien 3 for SNES...

Excellent QL. Looks pretty cool and worthy of the franchise in my opinion although this is the very first I've seen of this game. I can't surpress some rage however everytime I see a Sega "Aliens" game now and have to think of the cancelled RPG - I'd still love to hear what prevented that game from being released since the concept is quite promising.

This'd better be good, picked it up before going to work, I'll try it tonight. Ryan's comment that it could have been a SNES game sold me.
