Currently Gearbox’s Alien Colonial Marines is the top seller on steam, its fair to say that their new video game entry has not been very well received by critics, although I personally don’t think its as bad as people are saying, however its definitely not a polished as it should have been considering the franchise and the time invested in its development.

Now given that Steam routinely publishes the Meta critic ratings for all its games, it seems strange that none is displayed for this new release, coincidence?.

If you look right you can see an example of the Meta rating score on Steam for Fable.. Now look at the lack of rating for Alien colonial marines (Below)

 

Current Meta review rating  as of Feb 13 2013 (Below), so so disappointing..

 

Note: It should be noted that some of the other new games published on Steam have also not had their rating updated, presumably this is because there is not enough ratings yet for these releases, it would be good if Steam clarified their policy on this..

Aliens: Colonial Marines is available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. A Wii U version will be released in March. A season pass for the game’s multiplayer modes is also available.

 

Update:

 Steam have now updated the META score, so the answer is NO, theyre not hiding, it or at least not anymore

Are Steam hiding Alien Colonial Marines terrible Meta critic score?, 7.0 out of 10 based on 1 rating
