Aliens: Colonial Marines is a first-person shooter video game that was to be released for PlayStation 2 in Fall 2001, but Fox Interactive and Electronic Arts cancelled its development for unknown reasons. Aliens: Colonial Marines takes place during the film Alien³, when a rescue team of colonial marines and a salvage team go on a search-and-rescue mission for the missing USCM (United States Colonial Marines) ship, Sulaco. When the Sulaco is found the salvage team boards the ship, but the marines lose contact with them about twelve hours later. So the marine team docks with the Sulaco in attempt to find the missing salvage team, but instead find ravenous, blood-thirsty aliens (Xenomorphs). The player is able to command up to four marines out of a group of twelve. Each marine has different personalities, skills, and abilities.
Aliens: Colonial Marines is also the name of a series of Dark Horse Comics.
