Ridley Scott's Alien is a landmark film, not just for the impact that it had on the film industry but for the influence that it has exerted and continues to exert on video games and their design today.
To think that a 1979 sci-fi horror film still has a huge influence on video game design today is not that much of a stretch. What was key to this is the lessons it taught a generation of aspiring game designers in creating atmosphere and environmental storytelling.
If you've got an Alien itch you can't quite scratch until Alien: Rolumus releases, GameSpew has rounded up the best Alien games to tide you over.
Fans (myself included) are clamouring for a direct sequel to this fantastic game and hope for an Alien: Isolation 2. But will this great game ever get another instalment?
tbh it doesn’t need a sequel. Fantastic game but not something to make into a long running series.
Also included are Alien: Isolation, Dead Island Definitive Edition, Outlast 2, and more.
Good month imo. I'll play Gotham Knights and House of Ashes. I'm finishing up Disco E on Steam right now - that's a superb game.
