The Alien and Predator franchises haven't been going so well these last few years, and various rumors about balance issues from my peers who had played AvP in the past didn't help things either. But once I got a few hours of alone time (well, as alone as you can be while running around a jungle surrounded by deadly creatures trying to decapitate you) my fears of any balance issues were squashed. Hunting Aliens and Predators with a group of Marines felt awesome, like a recreation of a scene from one of the classic Alien or Predator movies."
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.
