I used to spy this game on shelves for years and I always thought it was another AvP First Person Shoot-um Up. Eventually I realised it was on consoles only and when browsing my local Blocky B Pre-owned Bin, it was ยฃ5 so I snapped it up.
When I started reading the manual, I realised it was a strategy game. For me, that was it. I loved the game.
You either had control of an Alien Hive, be in charge of a Predator's Hunt or be in Command of the Mighty Colonial Marines. I had to be Aliens every time, building a hive with different varieties of Xenomorphs was just too tempting to pass up. Plus, the Queen was the most bad-ass of units.
So I put it to you, if you are a fan of the franchises. You'll be a fan of this game. Now get off of my plane!
