Borag Thungg, Earthlets!
With a few minutes to spare before my next patrol of the work cubicles, ensuring my droids are pumping out one hundred per cent Thrill-power, I just wanted to congratulate the Rebellion videogame 'bots on Aliens Vs Predator being top of the charts this week. It truly is a zarjaz experience, and one I wholly recommend you get your humanoid paws on.
To see what's being said about the top-selling game of 2010 so far, head over to: www.rebellion.co.uk
SPLUNDIG VUR THRIGG!

Pimping eh? ;)
Quite right too, great game!
Mini-bolt has played the demo- and was VERY excited afterwards.
Congrats to all involved, now let's have a new 2000ad based game, eh?
Have just seen the demo running on a top-end PC, and it's bloody stunning!
No idea why the graphics are getting a bashing in the reviews, i thought they were spot-on. Well done Rebellion :)
(I particularly like the Aliens, and the marine's faces are a work of art ;))
Buying it as soon as i've saved the cash!
Yes, a 2000AD game would be wonderful.
Preferably not a FPS, though.
A survival horror, perhaps?
Or action adventure (we don't get nearly enough action adventures, these days)?
I'm no analyst, but I kinda think that a big budget game based on a 2000ad property would be too risky on the current generation of consoles.
So how about a cheaper, downloadable title on XBLA and PSN? Imagine a Dredd-themed take on Shadow Complex, an episodic, third person, cell-shaded Nikolai Dante action adventure game, a Metal Gear-inspired ABC Warriors platform/shoot 'em up?
I'm anticipating a Dredd movie tie-in game at the very least.

Alas, sad but quite likely true.

Ah, now you're talking!
There was downloadable Battle Star Galactica shooter some time back, as I recall...
A third off on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/10680/) this weekend, making it £16.74.

Anyone remember Nemesis the Warlock by Martek on The Spectrum 48K? I used to love the hand squeezing the heart to pulp when you lost a life....
It would be good to get some downloads of old skool 2000AD releases.

YES! I loved it! It was a 2D platform game, wasn't it?
Can't believe you remembered that heart-squeeze thing... :lol:
Yes it was HOO-HAA.
I managed to find a screen shot here:

Note: the hand ready to squeeze the heart along the bottom panel. Superb...
I think there should be an emulator on this site that allows us to play all those 80's/90's computer games online.

A great idea! :D
Oh, the game charts.
& there was Stevie envisaging Alien vs Predator belting out their version of Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the dashboard light"
Picked the PC game up but am worried that it will play as my mate has discribed as "On rails". Should I have gone for Far Cry 2?
Don't play it alone if you jump at scary bits in movies.
Not that I do, you understand...
Does anybody in Australia own this game yet?
I just read about the ban being lifted in Australia.
You'd beleive we'd be living in Germany.
On the subject of these types of game I recall seeing screenshots somewhere of a different type of game based on the Alien xenomorph premice. I beleived it had the same game engine as one of the later versions of Baulder's Gate/Ice Wind Dale games.
Awww, it' s been cancelled.

I started playing this game for the first time last night and although i didnt play for very long[only as far as the second checkpoint] my first impressions of it are very very good.The graphics are very very good and create the right atmosphere and it really is edge of the seat stuff in terms of not knowing what is round the corner and far more so than my experience of a lot of other games.I cant comment on the script very much yet as i havent completed the game but it seems good so far.........
Games are like films in the sense that you can tell if the game is going to be any good after the first 5 or 10 minutes or so.
Good job Rebellion
