Aliens vs Predator

[AustralianJeremy]

That's true. AvP is the only time I've ever actually shouted out in fear... in a dark room with the sound up, it was absolutely terrifying.

Come to think of it, there was an - AGH! - moment in System Shock 2. I was playing minesweeper on the little handheld PDA thing you can find, and suddenly a zombie crept up behind me and started wacking me on the back of the head. I was so identified with playing the game, inside the game, that it gave me a real fright - it felt like the zombie was actually behind me while I sat at the computer. (Zombie, undead crew member, Many, whatever)

I wish AvP had a skirmish mode like UT or Starcraft. That would make it truly ace.

Plus the Predator is far too powerful in MP (unless you agree to reduce its weapons load to just what it had in the first film).

But the single player mode is superb - I'd say it defines the atmospheric horror sci-fi FPS for the PC. (System Shock 2 was more technologically thorough and accurate, but not so terrifying.)

[AustralianJeremy]

Well, not quite. It would be if you could play deathmatches and all the multiplayer games against the computer (like UT). But tragically you can't.

[Alinestra Covelia]

Very. Hands down it is the Starcraft of FPSes.

[AustralianJeremy]

Yes it is.
