Our story begins deep in murky, watery depths. You’re James Bond, and you’re drifting, unconscious. You don’t know
why – only that you’re struggling for your life like never before. In moments of cognizance, you recall epic moments
from the last 50 years. The harrowing chases. The uber-villains. The exotic locales. The girls.

In 007 Legends, you’ll take on the role of James Bond as played by Daniel Craig, running missions in the most iconic
settings of 007’s five-decade film history. The places and times remain classified, but each retains the look and feel of
the original movies, updated with reimagined characters, expanded gameplay and exciting new plotlines.

Which brings us back to your current predicament. The clock is ticking. Will this be yet another close brush with death,

or has your remarkably good luck dried up at last?

Only you can answer that, Bond.

Jaws, the villain man with the steel-teeth, is set to appear in the Moonraker mission

Aliens: Colonial Marines delayed to 2013

Posted on by

It looks like May has become the month of delays, in light of recent delays to such titles like Bioshock Infinite and Silent Hill: Book of Memories.

But now, SEGA’s Aliens: Colonial Marines will be joining the list of delayed games, and won’t be seeing a release to consoles until February 12th, 2013.

The game will ship on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, and a planned Wii U version is still in talks, with a release date being revealed at a later date.

Gearbox Software CEO and President Randy Pitchford commented on the delay on the Gearboxity blog, saying,

Our vision has been to create a video game sequel to the original Alien trilogy. Our vision is for the game to be fully featured with an exciting, suspenseful, thrilling and action packed narrative campaign that can be played alone or cooperatively combined with a robust competitive game where human players can take on the roles of Colonial Marines or Xenomorphs and do battle online. The game must be authentic.

So in the end, players should finally be glad that the game has a confirmed release date, and with the extended time between now and February, that should give the development team enough time to perfect their game and stay true to the Aliens universe.

Although this is not the first delay the game has seen in the last few months, players should be patient and expect great things come February 2013. A new release date trailer was also revealed in light of the delay.
