If anyone is interested, you can now buy Alien Shooter 2: Vengance from Strategy First as a download only game ($19.99). Its been out in the States on shelves, but hasn't surfaced over here, I've been on the lookout for it for ages..
Shadowgrounds kind of overshadowed it, with its proper 3d graphics and gorgeous lighting (especially in Shadowgrounds:Survivor), but Shadowgrounds tends to be a more personal closer perpspective shooter, the aliens are more difficult to die but a lot less in number.. which spoils it a bit. Alien Shooter 2 with its 2d isometric view (and some nice light effects of its own - only in 2d) does hordes of aliens that can be swathed through much better, and its further back isometric view affords you some tactical advantages when it comes to using environment and layout to bottleneck those alien swarms. Also Alien Shooter 2 has a lot more RPG progression in your character and its stats than Shadowgrounds. Top games for the "marine gunning alien action" genre, but Alien Shooter 2 pips Shadowgrounds by sheer numbers of swarming foes.
