Games publisher Wonder Dice has been accused of stealing a designer’s ideas for its upcoming board game Alien: USCSS Nostromo.

The name Square is closely associated with RPGs, and for good reason. But in the days before it had its first huge hit with Final Fantasy, Square tried all kinds of different things, including licensing the rights to the 1986 film Aliens and producing an action game with some now-familiar names in the credits.

Planet Coaster is a video game about building a theme park. So please remember that fact as you enjoy this journey that takes you through the locations of each major scene from 1986 sci-fi classic Aliens.

This weekend, the New York Times reported on the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which apparently found unidentifiable alien alloys. While we have no clue what the hell those alloys are, here are some video game alloys that might as well be real now.

Aliens have shown up on Elite: Dangerous’ doorstep, and they have zero chill. This has provoked, among other things, an anti-alien arms race, as well as heated debates over whether or not wholesale slaughter is the right call. Amidst all that, one player is trying to communicate with the Thargoids, and he won’t let…

GTA Online players have discovered how to legitimately activate the secret alien mission. Based on the requirements, it seems clear that Rockstar wants alien egg collecting to be a rare event.

After years of hunting, digging through the code and searching every inch of the game, GTA V fans have finally found life from beyond the stars. And because this is GTA, of course the discovery is tied to digital theft and murder.

GTA V fans have looked for aliens endlessly since the launch of the game, all to no avail. After years of fruitless searching, fans have finally started solving a three-year-old mystery involving an alien egg in the GTA V code.

Since 2015, Elite Dangerous players have felt some kind of alien presence hovering on the periphery of their space trucking adventures. Recently, things came to a head, with players making direct contact with Thargoid ships on multiple occasions. Where is this all going? I spoke with senior designer Sandy Sammarco…

Now that the movie is out, the artists who worked on Alien: Covenant are free to share their stuff. And regardless of your thoughts on the movie itself, it’s all very pretty.

We don’t know much about the Angara, Mass Effect’s new alien race. That’s OK, though. Some fans are already  getting flustered just thinking about having someone new to smooch.

For a movie so famous for its frantic gunplay, we haven’t had a good shooter based on Aliens in a long time. So hey, if professional game studios can’t get the job done, maybe this upcoming mod can.

Guillem H. Pongiluppi is a Spanish artist who has worked on stuff like the Warcraft movie.

Somewhere in Elite Dangerous’ gargantuan (and, some might say, dangerous) universe, there are aliens. Or there were. Nobody’s entirely sure yet. But players keep finding clues, and the latest discovery—or at least, the way it occurred—even shocked the game’s developers.

I covered this earlier in the year when it was just a make-up test, but ver1sa’s Ripley (from Aliens) cosplay is now done and it’s just the best.

The movie Aliens scared me almost as much as the first film back when I was a kid. Alien Vs. Predator wasn’t so bad as I was much older and immune to fear, at least until Alien: Isolation proved otherwise. Now all three are digital pinball tables. These I can handle.

To recap: Colonial Marines was shit. But where Gearbox and friends failed, a very dedicated fan is still plugging away trying to make things right.

It’s weird, for all its influence in both games and film, not that many people cosplay as characters from the Alien series. So it’s awesome seeing this ver1sa, not just because it’s OG 1979 Ripley, but because it’s so good.

Alien-themed maps and mods fit really well with Doom’s atmosphere. No surprise one of the earliest full conversion mods for the game was an Alien one. Modder Kontra Kommando is making a completely new one from scratch, and it already has some really good-looking sprites and textures.

The people chasing secrets in Grand Theft Auto think they’ve made a breakthrough. They say they’ve found evidence that suggests that maybe there’s a way to get abducted by aliens in-game...without the help of mods or cheats.
