Gearbox Software has given a rare update on the status of Aliens: Colonial Marines, assuring fans that the shooter is still in development and promising "great things afoot".

Speaking in an interview with CVG, Gearbox supremo Randy Pitchford revealed that even he is finding it challenging to remain patient for the shooter.

"I know that there hasn’t been much talk about what we’re doing for awhile and that more details would be very juicy. Like so many people, I’ve been patient for years to finally be able to play this game and now that I’m actually involved in the creation of it I can tell you that it’s extremely challenging to continue to be patient as it develops," he said.

In an email interview with Jeff Gardiner regarding August 3rd’s release of the next "Fallout 3" DLC, "Mothership Zeta," MTV Multiplayer asked if it would even be possible to increase the level cap from its current 30 (as set by "Broken Steel.") Specifically, if the stat caps were boosted beyond 10 and skill caps were boosted beyond 100, would the game system simply break?

TVGB: "There’s been quite a bit of chit, and chat, around the water cooler in the last week or so about Techland’s future offerings now that Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood has been tagged and released. Dead Island, the game that mixes palm trees, crystal clear waters and zombies, was the first to get inquired about. Thankfully that one is still being worked on, and has even found a publisher. But there’s been no word on their other two titles that were announced many years ago but haven’t been talked about in quite a while – Warhound, an open-ended first-person shooter, and Chrome 2, the sequel to 2003’s sci-fi shooter. We got in touch with Techland to see what was up with these titles and walked away with both good and not so good news."
