It's been hell of long time coming just found an old Official Playstation Magazine issue 017 april 2008 front cover Aliens Colonial Marines storm Playstation 3 no rush then.
It gets better 
It was originally announced by EA in 2001 for the PS2 but was cancelled before release. Then Sega bought the rights and announced the game back in 2006, 2 years before your mag 
So it nearly beats GT5 as thats been out for a year and was annonced way back in 2005
Well ACM hasn't been tossed from developer to developer like Duke Nukem was. That went from 3D Realms to the specially formed Triptych Games and then finished by Gearbox Software and Piranha Games. So its hardly any wonder why the game wasn't as good as expected, you can't polish a turd
Gearbox have been on this the whole time so I can't see it being a major issue as they are a respectful developer. It all depends on why its taken so long? But according to Wikipedia here are a few reasons why;
The development team took great pains to recreate the vehicles and settings of the films by using original set designs to recreate the exterior and interior of the Sulaco and LV-426.[16]
Concept artist Syd Mead, who had worked on Aliens, was hired to design areas of the Sulaco that did not appear in the film but would be used in the game.[12]
A Shacknews article dated November 21, 2008, reported that the Aliens: Colonial Marines game had been delayed, supposedly because of layoffs at Gearbox Software. However, Gearbox president Randy Pitchford insisted that development on the game continues.[20]
According to a Kotaku article, Sega said that their new Aliens vs. Predator game is to be released in early 2010 would be the first of their Aliens games to be released, meaning that Aliens: Colonial Marines will be sometime afterwards.[21]

So it sounds painstakingly detailed and with a lot of work going into it. Then the layoffs wont of helped. And with Sega releasing AVP that will have given them more time.

Looks like Colonial Marines is now at the top of the forum!
Yeah, glad to see it - Uncharted was getting boring...
If I could kudos the banner change, I would 
Does that trailer remind anyone else of the original Dead Island trailer in a strange way? I think it's the music, camera work and pacing, because obviously there's not a huge visual similarity.
