Gearbox Software has revealed details of the day one patch for Aliens: Colonial Marines, which in all probability you've already downloaded. It fixes a multitude of in-game sins, including intangible welded doors, messed up Lurker encounters, a host of collision issues and general performance problems.

We're not entirely sure whether the patch will change the fact the game is apparently not very good though. As we write this, Lee B is feverishly hammering away at his computer's keys, thrashing out his Aliens: Colonial Marines review.
