8 Times Horror Icons Appeared In Video Games

Is there a more ominous sound than the clicking of The Predator? Well maybe the sound of your alarm each morning prompting you to get up for work, but still. From the moment that we laid eyes, or technically didn't, on the Predator in 1987 this bounty hunter from another world became an overnight success.

It's hulking frame, incredible technology and the fact that it killed people just for sport, all make The Predator a foe to be reckoned with. Over the years many video game titles have sported the licence and each offered, with varying success the chance to take down other players and steal their skulls.

Yet very few people expected the galactic menace to show up in Tom Clancy's Ghose Recon Wildlands, a co-op shooter that definitely leaned more into over the top action than it did grounded realism. However thanks to a crossover event, the mission "The Jungle Moved" lets you and your team attempt to turn the hunter into the hunted.

And this fight is brutally difficult, especially seeing as Pred slaps on the camo cloak whenever it's damaged, however if your team is strong enough you'll be able to claim it's thermal vision for your own which is utterly brilliant. Just be prepared to leg it as The Predator doesn't take being beaten very well and sets off an explosion in an attempt to kill you all.

Sore loser.
