The Best (Last?) Hope for a Good Alien Game

There’s a reason that the first word in the next game based on 20th Century Fox’s sci-fi horror franchise is singular. Alien: Isolation will be taking its cues from Ridley Scott’s slower, more atmospheric 1979 original. That means no space marines and no P5000 power loader. Just you and one big, scary Xenomorph.

Have you noticed all the small-scale sci-fi strategy games these days?
