UncategorizedYou Can’t Plead For Your Life In Alien: Isolation, Even At 60fps
No matter how hard you try, pleading with the Xenomorph in Alien: Isolation just doesn’t work. The alien (much like a cat) just does what it wants, despite what you tell it to do. But the androids? They should really know better. It was a long time coming but I finally got a chance to…
