Aliens. Predators. Pathetic pansy meatbag humans. What more does a game need? Well, it's hard to say, when the perennial battle in the shadows of mankind has been so underused in recent years. Many a PC gamer has fond memories of nervously trudging through the infested corridors, ready to jump at the drop of a pin, through not one but two Alien Vs. Predator games. An ordinary strategy title, a sterile movie tie-in and a number of failed action attempts later, the guys who started this war, Rebellion, are back to try and rekindle the battle on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC with a reboot of Aliens Vs. Predator.
In the first part of our series we took a look at the inception of horror games. Now we delve deeper and see how they evolved throughout the decades.
"Ever since Xbox One backward compatibility was announced, gamers have been asking for a few high-profile games. While the majority of requests revolve around the Call of Duty franchise, the Aliens and Sonic franchises have been other hot series. Today, Microsoft announced that Aliens vs. Predator, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and Sonic Unleashed are now backward compatible."
Kingdoms of Amalur was brilliant. Never did get a sequel because all the crap that happened after with the IP.
It looks as though the 2010 first person shooter, Aliens vs Predator might become a Xbox Backwards Compatible title soon based on its revamped Xbox Store product page.
Been playing the shit out of it on PS3. Hopefully this gives the game another lease of life. Such an underrated game imho.
I hope I can complete ME2 before this arrives.
AVP is going to need my undivided attention.
