'Back in July we took a look at how these two horror blockbusters were shaping up using data from Google Trends as a means of comparison. Now with just a week until release, we return to see how they’ve performed and identify which title is set to make the bigger impact. While Alien Isolation has already hit the ground running taking #2 in the charts can The Evil Within go a step further and become king of the haunted mansion?'
An opinion piece on the best Alien games. From arcade Alien vs Predator action to a terrifying Xenomorph stalker, these are the best Alien video games starring Ridley Scott’s chestbursting, acid-blooded nightmare.
My favorite Aliens game also, having the three campaigns to play was great. Scaling walls as an alien waiting to ambush anyone that came too close.
Only played a little of the horde mode but was still fun.
Aliens Fireteam Elite was my GotY in 2021, single player was kinda bad but playing that game 3 player with friends was so good and really challenging on higher difficulties
Massive shout out to Aliens Vs predator 2 (2001), a dialup lag filled fun mess in multiplayer and 3 great campaigns
The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.
An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.
I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.
Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.
Alien Isolation Grand Mother VR is an all new virtual reality experience for Creative Assembly’s best ever horror game.
I played through most of the PS4 version of the game but stopped because another game came out. I bought it last year for PC with the intention of using the VR mod but haven't gotten around to setting it up. I am glad I waited.
Great game, even better in VR. A little drawn out by the end, but I hope we see CA do something a little different with the sequel.
Sweet. I also rebought this game on Steam for the purpose of VR. I'll have to give it another shot w full immersive controls. I had only tried it out briefly before.
It's funny this was never officially released at retail as a VR game, bc it feels so perfect for it!
Not gonna compare because i will be playing them both and gotta say . I am glad that i will play a horror game again . Its been too long .
Me too getting both, absolutely loving Alien so far, exactly my kind of game much preferring it to Shadow of 'Chore'dor
I think Evil Within won't disappoint, as I've said Alien Isolation is really not that scary.
Alien Isolation all the way man. I say the stream for Evil within and it look like Resident Evil 4 with some action. That Alien A.I. puts the competition to shame. Hide in the same locker twice and the Alien will play guessing games with you. Don't hold your breath and he will take you out of the locker, Keep the tracker on and he will spot you. He can even come out while your reading the computer terminal! Shoot your gun at humans then hide in a vent while the Alien devour the humans, only to grab me from behind inside the vent(holy shit that scared me)! Alien A.I. is the benchmark for surivival horror A.I. Dead Space can't even compare to this.
