Feanor- I do have a mic, might be 10 before we be on at the same time. Looks like Kotaku and PC Gamer also gave it bad reviews. However, PC Gamer gives it decent multiplayer points. Lets hope the co-op is good.
Over lunch I played about 30 minutes of it. Had some trouble getting it to run but after re-naming the steam appcache file it worked.
In terms of the actual game, it doesn't seem as bad as people are making it out to be. So far, I have rather enjoyed it. Yes, the assault rifle sound is annoying but it is true to the movies, just think how much crap they would have gotten if they had not made it true to the movies. Yes, some of the vents are black squares but that doesn't matter to much to me, I spend most of my time trying to not get eaten by aliens. The one part that bugs me are the alien animations, they work well until they get close enough to hurt you, then they sorta stand up and walk around sometimes. Part of this is probably me trying to strafe them like crazy but I also think it would be hard to animate this correctly since in the movies, if you get bit or they get that close you die. But in a game, you need at least a couple of health bars. Overall, I would give it a 7/10 so far, without trying multiplayer or putting a lot of time into it.
