Christopher Buffa (Prima Games): October 7 marks the release of Segas Alien: Isolation, a survival horror adventure inspired by the 1979 film starring Sigourney Weaver and Tom Skerritt. Its one of the scariest games weve played (even more so on the Oculus Rift), and seems to perfectly capture one of Hollywoods most iconic monsters. Of course, this isnt the first time the Alien has appeared in video games. Its legacy dates all the way back to the golden age of Atari. Considering the advancements in graphics over the course of three decades, this also means everyones favorite xenomorph changed, from simple and barely recognizable 2D sprites to the glorious high definition creature you see before you. With that in mind, heres a look at some (certainly not all) of the biggest moments in the Aliens visual history.
