Aliens: Colonial MarinesLa versione PC di Aliens: Colonial Marines, nuovo first-person shooter per personal computer, XBox 360, PlayStation 3 e Wii U realizzato da Gearbox sotto etichetta Sega e disponibile dal 12 Febbraio scorso, è oggetto di una maxi-patch correttiva dal peso di 4 GB. Tenuto conto della ben poco lusinghiera accoglienza riservatagli dalla critica, lo sviluppatore ha pensato bene di migliorare diversi aspetti del gioco, tra cui la grafica (texture HD e nebbia volumetrica), le opzioni e l'IA dei nemici nel single-player mode.

Di seguito l'elenco delle modifiche che verranno applicate tramite la maxi-patch correttiva rilasciata ieri da Gearbox (LINK):
