Gearbox is keeping busy. After the disastrous launch of Aliens: Colonial Marines, all the skeptics wondered if the next Borderlands game might suffer a similar, mediocre fate. Rather than jump into Borderlands 3 straight away, theyve opted to work on a co-op MOBA game called Battleborn, leaving many to speculate that theyre probably deep in the throes of readying Borderlands 3 for a current gen console release. In the meantime, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC gamers can enjoy Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, by 2K Australia. Its a game that does a decentbut not spectacularjob of scratching the Borderlands itch until the next full game comes out.

Many people might not realize this, but 1979s Alien is the movie that put science-fiction horror on the map. Anytime you have a game or a movie that depicts people up in space in the future being tormented by some violent inhuman (or even human) entity, it owes its origins to the original 1979 classic, and in many cases in gaming, its 1986 sequel. Which is why, until Alien Isolation, many gamers and lovers of the franchise have been frustrated that nothing good has come out of the franchise in nearly fifteen years. Last years Colonial Marines was the latest slap in the face to fans following a trilogy of awful Alien vs Predator outings; two movies and one game, and many saw Alien Isolation as the franchises last chance before a major publisher, in this case Sega, would finally give up. Thankfully, at long last, Isolation has proven itself to not just be an excellent survival horror game in its own right, but perhaps the best Alien game ever made.

Developer Creative Assembly aims to change that with Alien: Isolation, a terrifying game of cat and mouse set in the Sevastopol space station.

Console Monster writes: "Aliens translation from celluloid to joypad has been a trial, to say the least. The series that began with director Ridley Scotts eponymous 1979 masterpiece is an icon of cinema, while sadly the games conceived in its image have fallen short of the mark. 2013s tragic stillbirth of a game, Aliens: Colonial Marines signalled a shit or get off the pot moment for SEGA and the IP, after roundly disgusting players and critics alike. The Alien games have been entirely missing the point of the series from which they were spawned, until now. TCA have wound back the clocks and brought the focus away from the sequels and back to Scott, writer OBannon and lead artist H.R. Gigers vision, and Alien Isolation is all the stronger a survival horror experience for it, and perhaps even one of the most enticing titles of the year so far."
