Aliens vs Predator (Xbox 360)

Spurred from the age-old question of who would win in a fight, the hugely successful films ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ have turned into an epic trisected battle between three species: Alien, Predator and Human. The First Person Shooter from Rebellion Developments is set in the same world 30 years after ‘Alien 3’. You can choose any of three to get a different campaign relating to the game’s story, intertwining and giving three games in one.

The Colonial Marines are the prey of the three. Equipped with your pulse rifle, shoulder light, flares and the familiar beep of the radar, you’ll need to fend off a pounce of a hungry alien or the sneak behind attack from the hidden Predator.

The Predator relies on stealth, and comes with his array of weapons, and cloaking abilities to sneak up on enemies. You’ll need to use strategy and silence to take down your target.

Aliens are the scariest of them all. Claws, tail and mouth are all weapons at your disposal. Climb up walls, pounce on terrified humans, and even to experience the alien’s mouth-cam as you bite into your victim.

The multiplayer modes will incorporate what made the previous Alien VS Predator games successful, and adding more functionality. With deathmatch, co-op and survivor, the game’s replayability will last for a good amount of time.

The game’s celebration of the franchises has caused the game to be banned in Germany and Australia due to its violent nature. With dismemberment, trophy kills and aliens using their sharp tails to poke, you can be rest assured the game holds back from no censor.
