The "Company"s role expanded in the sequels (becoming Weyland-Yutani under James Cameron in Aliens) and was central to the Alien vs Predator franchise that brought the beasts head-to-head on film. Whence it comes to gamers, in the form of its Lance Henriksen-voiced boss opening a Predator temple – setting the scene for this first-person hunter-shooter-killer hybrid and the chaos that ensues."
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.
