Aliens: Colonial Marines has Gone Gold, Deploys on February 12th

The hype train for Aliens: Colonial Marines has been moving along pretty slowly as of late, which is a bad thing when it’s sandwiched between titles like Dead Space 3 and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, but it might start up again as Gearbox has announced that it has gone gold and will release on February 12th.

If you’ve forgotten what Colonial Marines is all about, this story trailer will jog your memory:
