Elements of Aliens run deep through so many spacebound first person shooters, with its look, aesthetic and cast as much a feature of the genre as hit-points and headshots. You might think that would work against the imminent Aliens vs. Predator, Rebellion's return to the series that made their name some fifteen years ago on the Jaguar.
After the repeated perfection of the Halo series, the growling gung-ho of Gears of War or the dread-filled Dead Space, it's not going to be easy for any game going up against the growing horde of games born from a love of that epoch-defining film.

These are a few alternatives to Aliens: Colonial Marines that will certainly fill the void.''

News: The CEO and creative director of Sniper Elite V2 developer Rebellion will receive an OBE for “services to the Economy”.
His smiling face makes me want to punch it. For shipping unfinished, bland, and shallow games he should get the absolute opposite of an award.
I was so mad when I bought AVP and it wasn't good. I really liked the demo of Sinper Elite V2 though.
