Aliens v's Predator & avp gold started me on the road of online gaming, so i'll be keeping an eye on it, got a lot to live upto for me. I only ever wanted to play as the alien tho, running round walls & bitting peoples heads off, what more could you want?

Funnily enough at TL's BBQ I was telling Smilodon and Armitage how I could only play as a marine. Basically because I was recreating the experience of the films.

I could only play as the predator. I loved changing the vision modes and healing like in the films. (Only in AvP, AvP2 ruined the whole game for me)

QuoteLike this month's exceptional Left 4 Dead, Colonial Marines is a four-player co-op game centred around survival: you're constantly under attack and the environments you move through are frequently hiding your enemy. However, whereas Left 4 Dead pitches you into the middle of a nameless American city awash in zombies, Colonial Marines goes for fan-pleasing recreations of the movie quadrilogy's best locations: LV-426, the planet where the Nostromo first discovers the derelict alien ship in the original film; the Sulaco, where Ripley joins up with the marines in Aliens; and Fiorina 'Fury' 161, the prison facility from Alien 3.

Four player co-op :yahoo:

Did people still play that? I stopped playing it about a week after it came out. Tribes 2 on the other hand seemed popular since they gave away all those key-codes.
