Video games in the Alien universe are always a tricky-yet-intriguing proposition. There's a checkered track record. Sometimes they end up like Alien: Isolation; sometimes they end up like Aliens: Colonial Marines. 3D Realms almost got ...

Today's contest features Switch multiplayer title Earthfall: Alien Horde! The Switch definitely needs more wave-based multiplayer shooters. Good thing Earthfall came along! This game looks to fill that sad, lonely void ignored by other game...

In this contest, you can win Men in Black: International on Blu-ray, as well as a matching poster from Mondo! Physical prizes, ho! Giving away actual, tangible objects is one of my favorite things, so today I've got a double dose of things ...

THQ Nordic continue to announce fresh wares this week, with the news that cataclysmic 2005 adventure Destroy All Humans! is being remade for the PS4, Xbox One and PC. The remake is being handled by Black Forest Games.Set in the heyday of 19...

We've officially reached the point where EDF games are not only consistently released in the west, but get a simultaneous worldwide release, starting with Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain. As it turns out blasting giant bugs isn't j...

The xenomorphs and the Predator race have been at war for quite some time, now. Centuries, it seems. They've duked it out in comics, video games, cinema, action figures, and the imaginations of nerds everywhere. But man, all that fighting s...

Conquer the Earth with today's contest for a Switch copy of X-Morph: Defense. Honestly, every video game is about saving Earth. Why? Earth kind of sucks. I mean, would any smart planet allow the state of Florida to exist? I highly doubt it....

Don't be an alien to our contests: Win a Blu-ray copy of Shane Black's The Predator. Not gonna lie here -- the Predator series is a personal favorite of mine. The original is obviously a classic; the second one is blissfully dumb, and also ...

One of the longest traditions of science fiction is its incredible ability to address social issues and concepts without directly being about the specific social issues of the day. Captive State is very clearly a science fiction movie...

A huge update is headed toward the PC version of turn-based strategy title XCOM2 :War of the Chosen that will bring new modes and content to the planet-saving adventure. Better yet, the update will be free from October 9 until December 3.Th...

Last week, a wild but little-known story about Aliens: Colonial Marines resurfaced and gained more traction. In short: a modder discovered a typo in the game's .ini file that had big repercussions for the way Xenomorphs act. The typo -- "Te...

History has not been kind to Aliens: Colonial Marines, and today's story doesn't exactly improve its shoddy reputation. As spotted on ResetEra, a modder attempting to overhaul Colonial Marines found an issue in the game's .ini file causing ...

We may not equate SDCC with toy collecting, but that would be a mistake. The industry's biggest names are always in attendance; who would give up a chance to market to that many pairs of eyeballs? Indeed, the main reason I used to go to Com...

The most dedicated of the Grand Theft Auto V community have spent four years working together to unravel the game's most well-protected secret: The Mount Chiliad Mystery. The whole thing is centered around a cryptic mural painted insi...

Today is Alien Day, the latest in a series of dubious holidays pushed by marketing departments. Unlike Back to the Future Day which has a very obvious temporal tie-in, the date for Alien Day comes from the plan...

I'm of the opinion that all video games should have Alien in them. I've gone on-record saying as much (a piece that Darren continually prodded me to actually write). Maybe it's completely unreasonable, but goddamnit did I ever legitimately...

Last week, Steam removed Aliens: Colonial Marines and Alien vs. Predator 2010. Speculation arose as to why it happened -- was it because of all the Colonial Marines drama at Gearbox in the past, or is it because of a licensing iss...

For 48 hours, GOG.com is giving out free copies of Aliens versus Predator Classic 2000 to people who register their email address for the GOG Galaxy beta test. Easy enough. But what is Galaxy, exactly? It's an upcoming DRM-free online gamin...

Between the Alien: Isolation release date the new Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC that features the Predator, it seems like we have enough of an excuse this week to draw some Alien Vs. Predator fanart. Also, both involved parties are Draculas, be...

GameSpot has a quick look of Call of Duty: Ghosts' new Extinction mode, which seems to be Infinity Ward's take on Treyarch's zombies -- with aliens in it. But if you take a closer look at Extinction, it looks like there's a decent amount o...

[In light of the recent reveal of a new Alien game, I thought it appropriate to share this blog from Dtoid community member Nick Horth. Want to see your own blog appear on our front page? Go write something! --Mr Andy Dixon] The whine of a ...

Not deterred by Aliens: Colonial Marines, SEGA is moving forward on another Aliens game, Kotaku reports. Alien: Isolation is meant to release on current and next gen consoles, and stars Amanda Ripley, daughter of series protagonist Ellen Ri...

In the thrilling conclusion to a rubbish playthrough of a boring campaign, the noble Jim Sterling fights his way through Stasis Interrupted, fighting more Weyland Yutani mercs, having a close encounter with an alien Queen, and giving up on...
