3. Aliens vs. Predator
If there's something that makes my balls ache, it's reboots. And, what turns that manageable ache to throbbing agony is when the title for both games are exactly the God damn same. Aliens vs. Predator (2010) not (1999) even though you'd be forgiven if you confused it with Alien vs. Predator (1993) (1994) another in (1994) the comics, the movies, the t-shirts and the nightmares of blinding dissatisfaction I have. I remember before the games release, companies like IGN were reviewing the game at 7.0 which I believe is a 'decent' or 'good' on their scale, I find this laughable. Of course scores are open to interpretation; I understand that better than most as I have people screaming at me through the written word that my own views and opinions are incorrect because Gametrailers give the game whatever out of ten. Even so, saying Aliens vs. Predator is a decent game is like saying getting kicked in the balls is a decent way to reach that pesky high E in Unchained Melody. Firstly, for a twenty ten game it looks terrible. Everything seems to have been smeared with brown slurry making for some bewildering visuals. Having three short unimaginative campaigns that boil down to a standard glitchy, FPS. An Alien plot line that is about as unique as breathing, and lastly, the Predator narrative which is the best by far, but legs crumple holding up this uninteresting game. Adding to that, a multiplayer so one-sided it should be called a Möbius strip.
