It's now been over a decade since Aliens versus Predator was released, a ground-breaking first person shooter bringing together the worlds of both the Alien and Predator films. The game featured the option to play as the marines, the Aliens or the Predators - opening up some fantastic possibilities both in single player and multiplayer. Since 1999 there have been several additions to the Aliens versus Predator franchise; a sequel from a different developer, a real time strategy, two films and several other releases.
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.
