Aliens vs. Predator Trailer Remembers Aliens versus Predator

by Alice O'Connor, Jan 21, 2010 9:10am PST

The Rebellion gang wax lyrical about their seminal 1999 PC shooter Aliens versus Predator in this new trailer for their 2010 PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 inter-species rumble Aliens vs. Predator, discussing what has--and hasn't--changed since then.

If you want to join in the reminiscing, Steam is now selling the original for a mere $5.

Aliens vs. Predator is due to arrive in February, with a premium 'Hunter Edition' offering such joys as a replica facehugger, AvP graphic novel and swanky sew-on patch.

  This is one of those games that really needs to be experienced first person, however.
  
  The first person perspective of a lone marine being guided through the dark by his motion sensor really gives that feeling of solitude - plus when a facehugger jumps on your screen it helps freak ya out :)
