Aliens vs. Predator

Time played: 2 minutes

Skulls collected: too few

I recently watched Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, a movie I had previously enjoyed, and came to my senses that that movie sucks. So that makes two shitty AvP movies. Looking back at the game side franchise, it's not doing so hot. Besides a pretty good PC game from 2001 and a bizarre Capcom arcade cabinet that twists the Aliens/Predator universe into something Japanese and strange. I haven't read the Dark Horse comics yet but I heard they're the best of the bunch.

What was I talking about? OH YEAH

This is a crappy AvP brawler from Activision. You play as a Predator and beat the shit out of fat-looking Aliens. I'm talking nerd chunky fat. This game plays terrible and is super stiff and awkward. It's also one of those games where you forget what button does what after a few seconds because there is a terrible delay from the keyboard controller to what's on screen. You press a button, see nothing happen, then press another because you're impatient, and the Predator shoots, but then you press the last button you pressed and it throws a knife at a wall. It's all terrible.

The only cool part is that you're supposed to pick up Alien skulls for your collection. BRAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
