This is still a good way off, but I'm already looking forward to it.

I remember the Marine section of the first AVP game was truly one of the creepiest gaming experiences I've ever had. Stuck in a dark hallway, the beeping noise of the scanner, the scuttling of a facehugger. And when the scuttling stopped, that's when you knew it was in the air, heading for your head. Yes, I jumped more than once....
You're at the precipice Tony, of an enormous crossroads.

Read a preview for it in the official 360 mag and got pretty excited about it. If they can pull off the sensation of being in Aliens then it'll be incredible.

Oh yes, I can remember that in the AVP game as well. Terrifying stuff, if Doom 3 or any of the current pretenders to the throne could top that, it'd be quite something. I think PCZone awarded AVP the moniker of scariest FPS of all time (so far!). The bit I liked reading about in the blurb was that the programmers have been given access to the original film sounds. The motion tracker is really going to be nerve wracking! AVP on the Atari Jaguar was crap, you couldn't finish the game! :mrgreen:
