Aliens vs. Predator
WORDS BY: Mike Channell
As the old sports adage goes, you’re only as good as your last game. Same rule applies in gaming: No matter how impressive your reputation or the quality of your past glories, if your last title was a steaming heap, that’s what people will expect from the next one. And while Rebellion is one of Britain’s most profitable developers, its last game, Shellshock 2: Blood Trails, was about as much fun as contracting botulism. So when Sega announced that the studio was revisiting its classic Aliens vs. Predator PC franchise on Xbox 360, we’ll admit to being excited about the revival but skeptical about the potential quality of the game itself.
Rebellion knows this; in fact, the studio is a bit embarrassed. “Shellshock 2 was a very difficult project that we inherited when we took over the Derby [UK] studio of Core Design,” admits company CEO Jason Kingsley. “It was well on the way to being halfway done. And yeah, not our proudest moment. I think it was aiming really high from a creative perspective. I think it missed its objectives completely in a lot of ways. It was difficult; it was very difficult.”
But with that refreshingly candid confession, Rebellion has something to prove with the return to its most famous series — and to quality. We had a chance to take a tantalizing look at the Predator’s campaign, and within a moment all memories of mutant zombie Vietcong and “sexy” soldier women in hotpants vanished, replaced by giddy fanboy excitement and a flood of fond memories.

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.
