Rebellion’sAliens vs. Predatorhas been downloaded four million times, making it the most successful demo in Sega’s library. Along with the honor of being Sega’s fastest-selling game,AvPhas been an unbelievable success, especially since many people figured it wouldn’t sell well at all. Looks like sci-fi monsters from the eighties are still culturally relevant.
It’s just a shame thatAvPwasn’t all it could have been. Still, the huge success ofAvPshould bode well for Gearbox’sAliens: Colonial Marines, which I am sure will be a far superior offering. I greet allAvPsuccess with joy if it translates to Gearbox getting a big budget and plenty of marketing.
