They should of made a Aliens game featuring Ripley

Sigourney weaver has said she would love to play Ripley again but she said Hollywood proberly wouldn't use her since she's too old.

Do a motion capturing game like Uncharted and ask her if she's interested to play Ripley in another form.

Unfortunately, she won't do video games. I don't know if she has something against video games or something, but I know she won't do them.

Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis were trying to get her to reprise her role as Dana Barret in the GhostBusters game. ANd that was a good script by the original writers of the movies. And that game also had all the original stars from the movies (except Rick Morranis, but that's because he shunned Hollywood). She turned that down, and I'm sure she's already turned Colonial Marines down as well because I'm sure someone had to approach her about it.

Theres acctually other interviews, more recent where she said she wouldn't mind playing her role in Ghostbusters 3.

She's like Bill Murray on the project....always changing her mind

Game over man, game over! Hahaha I can imagine that being yelled at you when you die. It would sure make an awesome bonus or easter egg.
