"After reading the review, I was amazed that it was even published in the first place. Could Ben Reeves give any less information, or points that would validate such a low score? It honestly read like he had played the game for fifteen minutes, and then spent another five writing the review. For someone who references the great movies that inspired the game itself a few times in this very, very, short review, I'm forced to ask....dude, did you even watch the movies?"
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.
I think Rebellion will be going bankrupt after this game or closing down... Their recent streak of games has been horrid... Still can't stop laughing from Rogue Warrior!!!
They put so much into this and kept on saying its the best they have worked on and that it will be fantastic...
Shame =(
While I would stop short of calling Aliens Vs. Predator fantastic, I wouldn't go as far as to say it was a 5.75 either.
I have to agree with his article. I have the previous titles and the Alien movement is practically unchanged. It is laughable that he compares this game to the previous PC titles yet from all I have seen of the Campaign and the MP gameplay I have experienced it closely follows in the footsteps of the very predecessors he lauds.
@morganfell I know it's a little silly right.
Id say that I have to agree with pretty much every thing said in article. The review just seemed like its entire purpose was to smear out another first person so that BBC2 would seem more enticing to consumers. Lol journalism at it finest right? But then again I never really went to GameInformer for gems of wisdom or advice anyway.
But I gotta say Im glad that all this controversy is surrounding AVP and MAG. It shows people they really need to think for themselves and jump off the hype train.
