Aliens vs. Predator
WORDS BY: Mike Channell
Acid Test
As you’d imagine, combat against Aliens plays out differently from fighting with Marines. For starters, the Predator’s signature cloaking device — which renders him almost entirely invisible to humans — doesn’t work with these extraterrestrial killers, meaning stealth is almost completely out of the question. The bugs can climb on any surface, making them much harder to track with weaponry, and for the most part, you’ll be forced to take on the Aliens face to face on their terms — no mean feat when their blood is corrosive acid. Of course, if you’re canny and the opportunity presents itself, you can pit the two species against each other, then simply pick off the winner. Everyone’s each other’s enemy, so unleashing a bunch of Aliens on the Marines, for example, will lead to a huge firefight that a Predator can observe from the safety of a vantage point above the battle area.
While we’ve been treated to only a portion of the Predator side of the game, we’re clawing at the walls to see how the other campaigns play out. We’re promised three separate but intertwined campaigns, with the Marine segment having a distinct survival-horror flavor to it, and that’s not to mention the inevitable online multiplayer battles between the three species. It seems that after the mess that was Shellshock 2, Rebellion has something to prove, and where better to do it than with the series where the studio made its name. Could Aliens vs. Predator turn the film’s slogan on its head? Because it certainly looks like whoever wins, we win as well.

I've been looking forward to a game like this for a very long time. Aliens and predator should be excellent.

looks brill but its just too fast pase to be a fighter and horror because you know that there is something out there coming for you but it happens too quick and just too hard.

I'm not holding my breath! If they did this game anywhere as good as left 4 dead it would be a dream come true.Taking turns at tring to get to an objective with the marines.Then tring to take them out before they can finish that objective,oooh mama! But it probably won't even come close to what I expect. Oh please be good!

WOW! This is going to be an amazing game! I remember the old PC game on-line as an alien, attaching myself to the ceiling and waiting for a small group of marines to pass. I would drop into the middle, surprising them, and rip all of them apart. Predator was also amazing with his weaponry and all-round awesomeness. The old games Marine campaign disappointed me though so I hope they re-imagine it and make sure it doesn't let the game down.
