Strategy Informer writes: "These days, anyone hearing the phrase 'Aliens Vs Predator' would most likely associate it with the recent films that, whilst ok, were a little bit trashy and a blemish on what was otherwise a pretty decent franchise. What many people might not know however, is that the concept of crossing over the Alien and the Predator movies has been around since Predator 2, and that brief glimpse of an alien skill on the wall of the spaceship. Then, in the early 90's, a little known Oxford-based studio made one of its first titles based on this concept, one that some considered to be one of the many inspirations of modern gaming."
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.
It's going to be awesome!
