Check Out the 'Aliens: Colonial Marines' Box Art
By Nick Henderson on February 10th, 2012 (12 comments)
Gearbox certainly has had their hands full for some time now. Aside from producing a hit RPG/Shooter (Borderlands), a new entry their flagship Brothers in Arms franchise, as well as reviving the dying Duke Nukem IP, they have also been hush-hush about another high-profile project for several years now. Aliens Colonial Marines, the highly anticipated game adaptation/follow-up to the Sci-Fi classic, Aliens, was finally unveiled by the studio at E3 2011.
With the backing of Twentieth Century Fox and a talented team that is devoted to paying tribute to the popular series, Colonial Marines is certainly worth keeping an eye on. Unfortunately, the game still has no concrete release date thanks to several vague delay announcements. Luckily, that hasn't stopped the studio from unveiling their sweet new box art for the game:
Aliens: Colonial Marines launches in Fall 2012. This box art will presumably be featured on all major platforms.

I have been around since the very early days of 4Player but you may know me as “the short one” or the guy who is really into Dexter and that sweet new DmC reboot. I am a gaming enthusiast at my core and I love sharing my opinions on the subject with anyone who will listen. I am a cautious optimist and will try any game at least once. When it comes to gaming, I prefer to leave no stone unturned.

Lets just hope they bring the franchise to its memorable alien experience
Link / ReplyPretty cool. I'm still shaky on the game but that is pretty nifty box art there.
Link / ReplyHmm. I like. Has anyone wondered how ugly and out of place that 360 logo is?
Link / ReplyThe 360 game cases itself ruins most box art (I was under the impression this was common knowledge just by looking at the damn thing). The PS3 cases are a transparent gray that neutralizes and doesn't interfere with box arts so those tend to keep their 'cool factor'. But the silly neon green from the 360 just interferes with most color schemes.
Link / ReplyKinda alright? I don't really like the "empty space" the white background makes.
Link / ReplyYa the empty space seems odd.
Link / ReplyI like it. I prefer this over some of the other graphically-rich box arts. If the name doesn't say what the game is about, the box art should give some good hints.
Link / ReplyWoah, I actually like this box art. Very sleek.
Link / ReplyI feel as if it's just too bright for an Alien's game. Alien's should evoke feelings of claustrophobia, loneliness and fear. This art isn't really doing it for me.
Link / ReplyThis. I kinda' wish they made the box art look like the main poster for Alien, which is the egg with a green crack running down, or at least some variation of that. This box art looks to bright, but, aesthetically, it's well made. It kinda' just doesn't fit the game or series itself.
Link / ReplyI believe there is an error in the article; "This box is art". Should it be "This box art"?
Link / ReplyIt does look a bit like the Alpha Protocol color-scheme, doesn't it...
