In the name itself relating to this sole title, Aliens vs. Predator is not entirely original, as there have been many games in the past based on both properties. Recently there seems to have been a new found interest in the series, and thus this is where this edition from Rebellion and Sega come in. The humans are once again stirring up trouble thanks to The Weyland-Yutani Corporation who's famous for "building better worlds" but instead having completely different motives. In this tale, the corporation has been breeding Aliens in captive and killing young blood Predators.
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.
