Sega Reveals Aliens: Colonial Marines' New Escape Mode

Sega and Gearbox have announced a new mode for the upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines. In Escape, players team up in squads of four to race through a map, destroying as many xenomorphs as possible or making it to the escape point alive.

A demo of the game is playable at PAX, which starts today in Seattle. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by Sega's booth (#s 242 and 252). You can also get your picture taken inside a special 16-foot replica of the powerloader that punched the queen in the face. Even if you're not interested in Aliens, you should swing by. Guaranteed, someone will fall out of that thing and it will be absolutely hilarious.

If you're looking for more impressions on the game in general, and not necessarily Escape mode, take a look at Tim's hands-on preview of the game. We'll have details on Escape mode in the coming days.
