Aliens: Colonial Marines is delayed to fall, reports GameInformer, who got word on the setback to the upcoming Aliens shooter from developer Gearbox and publisher SEGA, who say: "Aliens: Colonial Marines is a process of creativity and invention and those don't necessarily follow the structure of an assembly line." The game was previously expected this spring, and here's more on the delay:

While setting clear goals, deadlines and predictions is helpful, they are often subjective. We don't want to sacrifice the creative process just for the sake of following a blue print. We prefer to have the creative discovery shape that blue print because our goal is to make a great game, and we are prioritizing this goal over the previously targeted date.
