10 Sci-Fi Games To Play While Waiting For Mass Effect 4

10. Alien: Isolation

It's been almost six years since it was released, so should I really be telling you to play Alien: Isolation by now?

Apparently yes, because some people don't seem to have gotten the message.

I know movie franchise games are a bit on the hokey side, what with Colonial Marines marring the Alien name a year prior. But fear not, Isolation redeems itself immensely.

It stays true to the terrifying nature of the alien force laid out in the first film. No gung-ho marines here, sonny Jim.

Just Amanda Ripley, a handful of weapons and tools, and her wits. Against possibly more than one Xenomorph, panicky survivors and the worst androids since, well, Ash.

Seriously, I'm more terrified of them than the alien(s).

It's a shame that Isolation didn't get the love it so rightfully deserves on release. But ignore the stench of Colonial Marines and give this a try.

If you're a fan of the only two good films in the series, then this is as faithful an Alien 1.5 story that we could have hoped to receive.
