Avoiderdragon: When Aliens: Colonial Marines was released, it made for some really tough times for Sega and Gearbox Software, the latter of which wasnt doing too badly anyway since they have their Borderlands franchise to fall back on. As one of the worst games of 2013, it was a game with so much hype and promise that proceeded to crash and burn. What a lot of people didnt know until much later is that there was another Alien game in the works, and it has now been released.

Road to VR Alien: Isolation is Creative Assemblys stab at moving a beloved movie franchise into a compelling interactive experience. Early word on the title was that, unlike the execrable Aliens: Colonial Marines before it, Isolation was something special. Whats more, at GDC earlier this year, Oculus proudly showed the triple-A title in a VR enabled version that terrified all who played it. Alien: Isolation was the virtual reality hit of the show and with good reason.

When Alien: Isolation was first announced, many people received the news hesitantly. Aliens: Colonial Marines was still fresh in everyones mind, and though the developer had changed, the stigma was still there. With some strong showings at various conventions, Alien: Isolation was poised to be a shining light upon the Alien franchise after it had been thrown into complete darkness.

MMGN writes: Alien: Isolation is an interesting game for a number of reasons. Not only does it attempt to reignite a misunderstood genre in survival horror, but its relying on a sci-fi franchise that has had a very tumultuous past decade. The Alien vs Predator movies confused more than entertained, Prometheus is a cryptic tale that the casual filmgoer probably wouldnt connect with the Alien universe, and Colonial Marines really needs no introduction. More or less, the Alien brand has had a lot of trouble regaining the respect it earned in the 70s and 80s. And yet, rather admirably, it still has a lot of significance in 2014.

Most of us cant even remember if there was ever a good Alien game. Over the years we have been offered multiple games in the Alien franchise, but ultimately they didnt pan out in the eyes of both critics and consumers; Colonial Marines being the most recent failure. Creative Assembly and Sega have come together to try and rectify those wrongs.

Andy from Plus XP got some hands on tome with Alien Isolation at EGX: "The atmosphere for Alien: Isolation is good. Disgustingly good. Loud, creepy, tense, and it turns out that one alien is more. I can assure you that people would have been crying deep inside themselves after playing the Alien: Isolation preview. It really pounds you into a catatonic state with its sheer will to incite tension. To some degree, we receive absolution for the mess that Colonial Marines was, but I fear that other problems could grind Alien down into a game that could have been."
