Alien. Predator. Soft, bursty meat sack (Marine). This holy Trifecta of sci-fi adoration is one of the most iconic casts in the history of modern cinema... despite at least half of the films being less enjoyable than having a baby alien erupt from your chest. Rebellion, a studio with a worrying recent track record, have been given the keys to this money-making kingdom. Does the latest AvP title penetrate Rebellion's dodgy reputation like a Predator spear through human flesh, or is it game over man for this struggling developer?
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.
