The original Aliens Vs Predator, or AvP for short, was released in 1999 for the PC. Now over a decade later, Rebellion is set to release the third game in the series for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. It's been a long time coming but considering that Rebellion's last couple of games (Rogue Warrior, Shellshock 2) haven't exactly been AAA titles, should you place your faith in them to deliver the goods with the new AvP? Or are they relying too much on the legacy of the original ground breaking FPS?
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.
