7. Aliens Colonial Marines

There comes a time in a marine’s life when he has to decide whether he wants to waste ammo or save his life.

Some of you may be surprised to see this title on the list. True, when it came out, ACM was a bug-ridden mess (and the unnecessary pre-launch hype wasn’t helping either). But by now it has received a number of huge patches, rendering it relatively bug-free. It might not have revolutionized the genre, but it certainly deserves a look, especially if you are an Aliens fan.

My rating: 3/5

Flamethrowers and aliens.
