Hoo damn that is a lot of games. I'll also be taking quick looks at the ones I can't necessarily "beat."  But the first one on the list is:

First, a confession: I've never seen an Alien OR Predator movie.  Everything I know about either franchise is the result of cultural osmosis.  I've been meaning to sit down and watch all of 'em but Netflix has some weird thing about not having full movie series on instant.  So I could watch, like, Aliens and Predator 2.  Great.  Anyways, what attracted me to this game, being not a huge fan of the IP, was the violence, and the ability to play as freaky monsters.  Who needs a gun when you have big rape-claws?  So I'm pretty pumped to hear that there are campaigns for Aliens and Preds as well as squishy humans.  That said, I've heard this game's single player wangs chung.  I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT TOGETHER!


See you on the other side,
