Aliens: Colonial Marines is a follow-up to the 1992 film Alien 3. This is the story of the rescue team sent to search for the USS Sulaco and the team of marines, along with one civilian advisor, Ellen Ripley, that went missing 17 weeks prior to the game start.
This game recreates the look and feel of the 1986 film Aliens better than any other game in the franchise, because it specifically aimed to. The Aliens Versus Predator series, while amazing and astounding and highly enjoyable, always took you to places inspired by Hadley's Hope, Inspired, kinda sorta looks like, something that would exist in that world. I like expanding the universe and seeing things from it that weren't in the movies, BUT it was always my dream to return to Hadley's Hope, THE setting of Aliens. To explore it, to explore the Sulaco, I really did feel like I was back in that same place that I'd watched in a movie dozens of time since I was a kid. The main story is engaging enough, I liked the characters. O'Neal and Bella are standouts.
Critics knocked the game for bad enemy AI, which was apparently the result of a developer typo in the game scripting. There are 3rd party mods that fix this. I never really noticed it. I always found it challenging and fun. Game has nice variety, I never felt like I was doing exactly the same thing for too long. New xenomorph mutations that were a result of the radiation of the atmosphere generator exploding keep the enemy types varied. The MP maps are fun, just load them up and try to survive waves of enemies. This game is total wish fullfillment.
Michael Biehn and Lance Henriksen reprise their roles from Aliens, although Henriksen's Bishop is a different character to the orginal Bishop, although they are the same model android. During the game's creation 20 Century Fox said this new story was officially considered canon lore. After the game's poor critical reception and poor sales performance, Fox said this isn't canon. Lol. Canon is whatever you want.
loved this game but hated how glitchy online co op was also it irritated me that each different game modes whatever faction you played definitely played favorite and what i mean was certain play through was shorter and the other faction was longer to play which was stupid but regardless of that flaw in itself i still enjoyed the game and wished the game was bug free and could play it again but since its older than snot my copy for steam doesn't work and if GoG could fix its bug i would buy the game again and play it with my other friends who also enjoyed the game.
The 3rd BirthdayThe game is an action role-playing game described by Square Enix as a "cinematic action RPG". Director Hajime Tabata noted that the gameplay and plot are intertwined due to a newly introduced ability called "Overdive," an ability that lets the player switch bodies with one of their team members, allowing them to control friendly NPCs. Teammates can be ordered either to target specific enemies or to defend themselves in combat. The player is able change their controlled character in real-time, intermixed with their combat actions. The game is played over-the-shoulder, comparable to games such as Resident Evil 4, Dead Space and the Mass Effect series. An array of different costumes will be available for Aya to choose from throughout the game, but only after they are unlocked by completing the game in various difficulty modes. Clothing in the game deteriorates due to battle damage, revealing Aya's skin to various degrees.Action Fantasy Historical Horror Science fiction Survival

Wolfenstein RPGWolfenstein RPG is a first-person shooter and role-playing video game developed by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment, released in September 2008 for mobile phones and in May 2009 for iOS. In 2013 the game was removed from App Store.
The gameplay follows the recipe from Doom RPG as it is shown in the first person while being a turn-based role-playing game rather than a shooter and puts emphasis on the plot. Combat and movement are turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 90 degree angles and moves space by space. One step or action by the player allows all other characters in the area to take one step or action themselves. The game takes advantage of its deliberately slow pace, encouraging players to take their time and check out every little corner, read the books on every bookshelf, and destroy all the furniture to see if anything is hidden within. Levels include underground passages and weapon development laboratories plus a level involving a moving vehicle.
The game also includes two mini games: the card game War as well as Chicken Kicking, where the player is awarded points for kicking a chicken into a score area.Action Historical
