You can also spot the ejected cryopods (from Alien 3) on the surface of LV-426 near the tractor. How'd that get there?

I think it's a similar cryopod and not the same one from Alien 3. It has a random marine inside. I would have been horrified to see Ripley or Newt inside.

Bulletstorm, I actually liked the gameplay but the atrocious writing and characters made me despise the game by the end of it.

I still play AvP on PS3 to this day. That game had fun multiplayer too.
