There have been many games based around the Aliens vs Predator franchise over the years; some of them have pleased fans and gamers, whilst some have drawn their ire. The most excellent, though, has undoubtedly been Rebellion's Aliens vs Predator and its Monolith developed sequel, released in 1999 and 2001 respectively. So, strip down to your underwear, climb inside your cryotube, drift into hyper-sleep for 11 years and wake to find the latest Aliens vs Predator game has been unleashed. So, was it worth the wait? What's that? You're having chest palpitations? Gahh!
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.
