Slow-mo trailers are all the rage these days, usually depicting extreme violence set to moody, emo pop music. Itâs certainly become a popular practice in gaming advertising, and with good reasonâthose moody, introspective ads for intense action games can be pretty cool.

Case in pointâthe above trailer for Gearboxâs Aliens: Colonial Marines, which IGN posted a little while ago. Itâs not exactly playing the song from Donnie Darko, but itâs close. Itâs also a dramatic embodiment of everything âAliensâ and gives hope that Gearbox was indeed smart to wait 25 years to make a tie-in Aliens game.

Given how much fun I had shooting aliens in Borderlands (and how strong its sequel is looking), hereâs hoping that Gearbox can pull off something special with Aliens: Colonial Marines.
