Among the many not yet touched by Game loft, famous for recycling all recyclable gaming, there was still the third-person action-shooter, the debtor to Max Payne and tormented heroes who love bullet time.

Take the license of a film that has twenty-five years of history behind it, add a console on the verge of sunset and you'll be in my hands Aliens: Infestation, a little game for the Nintendo DS already smell masterpiece. Why are there so unbalanced?
