Aliens and Predators first faced off back in 1990 in a series of graphic novels published by Dark Horse Comics. Since then the franchise has spanned not only comics but books, movies, and video games. In 1994 Rebellion developed the first AvP video game for the Atari Jaguar, which was then followed by the classic PC game in 1999. Since then a few games based on the AvP brand have been released, including a follow up to the PC title. Now Rebellion have returned with a new Aliens Vs. Predator game.
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.
