‘Aliens: Dark Descent’ Review – Brutal Tactics and Nail-Biting Experience Captures the Essence of ‘Aliens’

I’m of the mindset that there has never been an excellent modern video game based on the Alien franchise. Alien: Isolation was an exercise in misery, taking what should’ve been a well-crafted 4-8 hour horror experience and stretching it beyond the 20-hour mark. Aliens: Fireteam Elite was a fun-as-hell co-op shooter, but repetitive gameplay and light content at launch kept it […]

April 26th means Alien Day. And on this day I would like to challenge the “common wisdom” of James Cameron’s Aliens that has always been a bee in my bonnet. Or should I say an Alien in my ascot? A Facehugger in my frock? I’m not going to sit here and pretend that what is […]
