GameSpot spoke with Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford and a Sega rep who both confirmed that Aliens: Colonial Marines is still in development (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6212002.html). Along with that piece of news comes word that a Nintendo DS version of the game is also in the pipeline.

Now, Obsidian and Sega have broken their silence, confirming the game is far from dead. "Aliens: Colonial Marines is indeed still coming as we've never said anything otherwise," a Sega rep told GameSpot this morning. Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford also confirmed the game, previously announced for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, remains at his studio.

...

A rep for Gearbox echoed Pitchford's comments, saying the reason Aliens Colonial Marines had dropped from view was that the studio was focused on development and promotion of Borderlands, due out this fall. The rep also confirmed reports a DS version of the game was also in development at another studio. Sega reps, however, declined to comment on the handheld edition of the game.

Good news! I'm indifferent to AvP, but since I get Borderlands now, I can wait for A:CM. Go Gearbox!

If a DS version is coming I want to see it as a top-down Space Hulk like game using a GTA ChinaTown wars look.

Regarding GTA ChinaTown wars, I seriously hope that the construct for that game is reused for other DS titles by RockStar as it has sooo much potential.

According to Shacknews' article Aliens RPG Still Alive, Colonial Marines Headed to DS (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59150), it's very much alive!

Excellent news. I was a little disappointed when I heard it got delayed, but all I gotta say now is that it's going to be a long wait.

AvP looks like an awesome game so far, but I'm more a fan of the franchises as separate entities than together, especially Aliens.
