When I heard a new ‘Aliens Vs Predator’ Video game was being made, my head went a little numb. It has been a long time since we have seen something decent come from the Aliens, Predator, or Aliens Vs. Predator Franchise. The game is being developed by SEGA, and this my friends, is the ‘Alien Vs. Predator’ we have all been waiting to see. In any type of form, movie or video game. These guys did it right! Not only are there Aliens and Predators, but they threw Colonial Marines into the mix. Which is something that should have been done a hell of a long time ago!
You will have the ability to choose who you will be in the game. But in the demo I saw for the game, the only playable character was the Predator. Which was cool. Because after all, he is fan favorite. The demo for the game took us through some jungles with Colonial Marines patrolling the near by military bases. There are also Aliens sputtering throughout the Jungle. As the Predator, it is your duty to kill everything you see. The Demo was pretty much set up just to show you how the Predator hunts his enemies down and rips them apart.
I loved everything I saw in the game! The graphics were great for not being fully complete. The gameplay was a ton of fun. And watching the Predator do his thing, was just flat out awesome! This was by far one of the coolest surprises of E3. I can’t wait for the game to get released next year.
Instead of telling you about what I saw, how about I just show you. Here is a short clip of some of the best points I saw in the demo. Enjoy!

Wow! The game play looks terrific. It's about time they made a decent game from the Alien/Predator universe. Being able to play from all 3 perspectives is something I've been hoping they would do.
This looks awesome in so many ways. There goes my social life.
Michael, There were two previous Aliens vs Predator games that came out years ago. I believe this new game is by the company that made the last Aliens Vs Predator 2 multiplayer game. It was a pretty cool game and this looks like a great improvement to that.
I mean to also say that in those old games you could play as a Predator, Alien or Marine.
Ok, if this idiot who wrote this article knew anytheng about the AVP line that came out even before the movies, he'd had known that the many of us whom have Played AVP, AVP GOLD and AVP 2, would know that they were indeed some great games, before had, so stop being so mainstream, jeez! There just had better be Marine playable too, I mean Iike the Predator but it just wouldnt be the same….
this ne AVP game looks awesome can't wait to see what they changed!!!
theres a w in new and i agree
is it on 360
why is it everyone is forgeting about the aliens vs predator 2 game from earlier?
Why are the aliens always crawling around? Does nobody remember that in the first film the alien could walk around like a man too? Also, in the first film, it was implied that the aliens skin was very, very tough. So tough, in fact, that even when Ripley hit engage on the control panel of the escape ship, the alien was not destroyed from the blast from the engines, it just couldnt hold onto them anymore and fell off into space. It didnt seem to explode, the way a human body would, if a human body were in space without a space suit. I just think, that Ridley Scotts Alien, seemed to be much tougher than the creature was made out to be, in later movies, after the 3rd film. Aliens vs Predator, 1 and 2 were terrible films. There is no way that the predator could pick up the alien from the first film and swing him by the ankles, it just made the movie look ridiculous. Heres hoping Ridley Scotts new Alien film, returns the Alien to his former glory as it makes me sad to see how the sequels, after the second film, turned out. The prospect of Ridley Scott making a new Alien film, has me salivating like the Alien.
