Deep, intelligent, intense, and utterly unlike any experience before it, Alien: Isolation presents all that's truly great about AAA, and also its evolution.

The Alien is truly terrifying; Amazing recreation of the Alien universe; Smart AI keeps the game unpredictable; Looks astonishing; It's a long game; but intense throughout

Lack of guidance will deter some

Alien: Isolation is a first-person survival horror experience that will focus on capturing the horror and tension evoked by Ridley Scott's 1979 classic film.

It has been a rough few years for the Alien games, but their unlucky streak is close at an end. Alien Isolation is a far cry from the previous games and is far more true to the movies.

Those who played the awful Alien: Colonial Marines would be forgiven for coming into Isolation with a negative attitude, after all, the aforementioned title was looking amazing right up until release, where it then turned out to be nothing like the previews had suggested and was even completely...

HR Giger's alien has often been dealt a disservice by videogames. Described as the "perfect organism" in Ridley Scott's original movie, the videogame xenomorph has been anything but.

Proceeding 15 years after the ominous events that took place on the Nostromo in Ridley Scott's Alien , Amanda Ripley is informed of a device on board the Sevastopol, which contains information on what caused her mother's disappearance.

Through no fault of its own, Alien: Isolation had a lot to prove right out of the gate. Critics were universally disappointed with the last attempt at incorporating the ‘Alien' franchise into a video game experience with Aliens: Colonial Marines from Borderlands developer Gearbox.

I remained cautiously optimistic as I removed the shrinkwrap from my review copy of Alien: Isolation. I had seen the first-person survival horror title in person at an event just a month or two before, and I came away impressed, but the sour taste of Aliens: Colonial Marines still lingered long...

To start off I would like to say that I'm not a hardcore Alien fan, so this review won't be biased towards loving it. I would also like to say that I wasn't expecting a whole lot from this game after the massive disappointment that was Colonial Marines.

Alien: Isolation will make you scream in both frustration and euphoria but succeeds where many games of this franchise have failed
