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.

Michael Crisman writes, "Its October! Tradition dictates in October that we go looking for games which go well with a Halloween theme, because what about the first half of this sentence was unclear? We got an early start with last weeks column, and were rolling right along. Today were looking at a game with a similar first-person shooter style, but with an added twist which ramps up the challenge factor. Based on the insanely popular Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 property, its my proud duty to request all non-Chaos Space Marine chapters out there to pause for a moment of silence to honor fallen brethren (and to cordially invite all Chaos Space Marines to eat a bag of dicks). Todays entry is none other than 1996s Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels for the PC, Saturn, PlayStation and Panasonic 3DO, developed by Key Games and published by Electronic Arts.

8BitChimp's Theo says, "I had no expectations going into my Alien: Isolation demo. Given the attrocity that was Colonial Marines I think that is the case for many gamers who are thinking of picking it up when it releases early next month. However, what I saw from developer The Creative Assembly left me completely impressed by their ability to make a immersive survival-horror game."

gamrReview's Patrick Day-Childs: "Unfortunately I'm about to be the bearer of bad news. I had been very excited for Alien: Isolation but after managing to play it at EGX 2014 I must admit that I've now cancelled my pre-order. Those looking for a stellar revival of the franchise on gaming platforms following last year's infamously bad Aliens: Colonial Marines may have to wait a little while longer."
