The Alien franchise has spawned a series of inter-galactic survival titles over the years, ever since Ridley Scott captivated audiences with the original science fiction tale back in 1979. The spine-chilling tension returns with players once again thrust into the midst of an overrun outbreak of Xenomorphic horrors.
The latest iteration brings the series to the Nintendo DS for the first time in its cult history. With WayForward taking command position and adopting a platform shooter formula, can the well-established developer inject fresh life into the Nintendo handheld for one last hoo-rror?

''With Aliens: Colonial Marines being a utter disappointment, a lot of people are looking for something to fill the void. Something to fill that intense atmosphere steeped in tension. People are wanting to feel vulnerable and easily killed. Others wish to play as the ones doing the killing. These are a few alternatives to Aliens: Colonial Marines that will certainly fill the void.''

Those retro-minded funsters manage to infuse the spirit of yester-year into even the most potentially dreary licensed game, and Aliens: Infestation is no exception. This is a cracking little action platformer that evokes the memory of titles such as Metroid, NES-era Ninja Turtles and even the old Mega Drive Aliens games
I want this game more than Arkham City and Rage since I haven't played a good Xenomorph blasting game since Alien 3 on the SNES. Where did all the action-platforming games go this gen?
SEGA Europe Ltd. has announced that the recently Aliens: Infestation will be made available throughout Europe, bringing the action-packed experience of the popular Alien film series to Nintendo’s best-selling handheld console in September 2011.
can't wait! Aliens + DS + Metroid style gameplay + Wayforward + nice art style = FTW!!!
