Aliens: Colonial Marines is a follow-up to the 1992 film Alien 3. This is the story of the rescue team sent to search for the USS Sulaco and the team of marines, along with one civilian advisor, Ellen Ripley, that went missing 17 weeks prior to the game start.
This game recreates the look and feel of the 1986 film Aliens better than any other game in the franchise, because it specifically aimed to. The Aliens Versus Predator series, while amazing and astounding and highly enjoyable, always took you to places inspired by Hadley's Hope, Inspired, kinda sorta looks like, something that would exist in that world. I like expanding the universe and seeing things from it that weren't in the movies, BUT it was always my dream to return to Hadley's Hope, THE setting of Aliens. To explore it, to explore the Sulaco, I really did feel like I was back in that same place that I'd watched in a movie dozens of time since I was a kid. The main story is engaging enough, I liked the characters. O'Neal and Bella are standouts.
Critics knocked the game for bad enemy AI, which was apparently the result of a developer typo in the game scripting. There are 3rd party mods that fix this. I never really noticed it. I always found it challenging and fun. Game has nice variety, I never felt like I was doing exactly the same thing for too long. New xenomorph mutations that were a result of the radiation of the atmosphere generator exploding keep the enemy types varied. The MP maps are fun, just load them up and try to survive waves of enemies. This game is total wish fullfillment.
Michael Biehn and Lance Henriksen reprise their roles from Aliens, although Henriksen's Bishop is a different character to the orginal Bishop, although they are the same model android. During the game's creation 20 Century Fox said this new story was officially considered canon lore. After the game's poor critical reception and poor sales performance, Fox said this isn't canon. Lol. Canon is whatever you want.
If only GOG can do the change for the multiplayer side that all players can found each other not only friend list, we need Puublic lobby so we can play the multiplayer game modes with entire player community plus cross plathfrom included too.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

Spy HunterOriginating in the arcades, Spy Hunter is a driving action game played from an overhead point of view. Your car is equipped with machine guns to help you get past the numerous enemies out on the road (be careful not to shoot any civilians, though!) Occasionally you will come across a weapons van, and if you drive into the back of the van your car becomes equipped with a second weapon (such as smoke screen, oil slick, or missiles). At several points the road splits and you can enter a boathouse which transforms your car into a boat temporarily. If you drive far enough the seasons change as well (watch out for icy conditions during winter!). The enemy cars will do anything to stop you, including running you off the road, firing guns from the back of a limo, or dropping bombs from a helicopter.Action
