liens: Colonial Marines just came out and has met with a vicious amount of backlash from critics, but there are still a lot of things in the game that requires you to look at a guide to experience them.
There are plenty of collectibles that you simply can’t find on your first playthrough, unless you are thorough, but we have created a guide that will be extremely helpful while you traverse through the game in hostile environments looking for collectibles.
The game is being developed by Gearbox Software and is said to release this year. Sega is publishing the game.
Aliens: Colonial Marines begins with an ostensibly abandoned ship, the U.S.S. Sulaco, recovered in orbit around LV-426. Players lead a group of highly trained United States Colonial Marines as they board the deserted craft to uncover the fate of the crew.
So now that you know what the game is all about, let’s start with the achievements first.
