Just in case anyone would be interested.

Noticed this the first time last night in a banner ad. At first I thought it was for a new movie till I noticed the pre-order date.
Think I would have preferred a movie but most of these games have been at least decent.
I'm hoping that they do a good job on this one as the team working on it has supposedly been trying to stay as faithful to Aliens as they can.
A few things that have been done to try and keep this as authentic as possible:
1) The original film has been pulled from the Fox vaults to make sure that the colors match up correctly for the parts that appear both in the game and in the movie, the Nostromo, the colony, etc.
2) The sounds have been matched as closely as possible for the Aliens, the weapons (pulse rifles, etc.) and of course the famous motion detector sounds
3) They've brought on board Syd Mead (Aliens concept artist) to design areas of LV-426 and the Sulaco that were previously not seen in the movie
Now of course this does not guarantee that it will be a good game but at least it sure seems like they're making a serious effort. I like what I've seen so far in the preview trailers shown on YouTube such as the suspense trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgSHqjwFcd8&feature=player_embedded)
I was hoping that this would be a great game, too, as I've been an Aliens fan ever since Aliens 2 (the movie).
However, ever viewing reviews like this, i'm disappointed.
And they had 5 YEARS. Oh, well.

Dan, are you saying the game is only 4 to 5 hours long?

5.0/10 from IGN
4.5/10 for the Console versions
I'm glad I waited. I'm also completely pissed that one of the few, if not the main, Co-op PC title this year is complete crap.
there is no one who can look at the final product and say that they see a good, or even finished, game.
