I've been a big Alien and Aliens fan since I was too young to be watching them. This was everything I could have ever wanted from a video game based on this universe.
Unless your a Gears or Halo fan there is almost zero reason to get an Xbox. Even more so today since they are all coming to PC. Sony exclusives just destroy Xbox exclusives right now. But that's just my opinion.
Holy crap I love everything about this idea!
