This year's reboot of the popular AVP series is one we have been following for some time. After all, when three campaigns are promised it's likely to pique your interest, particularly when the FPS genre has been saturated with cookie cutter clones. Thankfully Rebellion – the development team behind the original games as well as this latest iteration – has succeeded in making each species play distinctively, in turn awarding gamers a unique experience with each campaign. The game has an online component that strives to set itself apart from the competition via these diverging play styles but will it be enough to bring the franchise snarling into the modern era and appease the fans left disillusioned over the lacklustre films?
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.
