Aliens vs. Predator™
Aliens vs Predator (2010) is a first person shooter that introduces you to three seperate storylines involving a Human, a Predator, and an Alien. Overall the storylines are decent, while not nearly as difficult as I would have prefered. For example Nightmare Difficulty seems to simply increase the damage and accuracy of your opponents, but not necessarily making them difficult due to one shot mechanics available to Predator and Alien. Boss fights bring a interesting level of difficulty, but are still single meat shields with high health pools that you have to mow down while dodging mechanics and the occassional add. Overall scenary in the game is one of the highest pluses I will give, as the environements truely have the universes feel to them.

People say the game is mediocre, and perhaps that is justified. However, I feel the game is at least in the higher end of mediocre games, and can produce a lot of fun. At least for fans of the different creatures the game tried (and in my opinion, succeeded) to bring alive.
I am not in a position to review the multiplayer so consider this to be mainly a single player review.
People are usually concerned with the duration of gameplay, and what many have said is true, it’s short, with the marine campaign being the longest, Predator in the middle and the alien the shortest. It’s a shame, as I found that the alien was the most fun, then the predator, and lastly the marine. Though this is not to say that it isn’t fun to play the marine, it’s just the weakest of the species. All three species campaigns adding up to perhaps 12h, though I might be slow - spending a lot of time in the shadows as an alien, watching how the marines patrol, and cloaked as a predator, deciding which marine to pick off first.

Project Hunter
Although somewhat buggy, overall this was an enjoyable and addictive stealth/action game with some nice skill-based mechanics.
It was a pleasure to see your alien evolve from a small larva-like creature to a full-grown fire-breathing dragon.
The ending was a bit of rushed though - wish there was more to the story.

For what it is, Project Hunter is a very solid go at making a stealth game playing in the Alien Franchise.
Story: virtually nonexistent. You are an alien specimen that escaped containment, and your goal is to kill all enemies and evolve. I was somewhat annoyed that the opening scrawl was unskippable, but that’s just a minor inconvenience.
Gameplay: Solid, but limited. If you are familiar with the Alien Franchise, you may be perplexed that you start off as a small generic grub rather than the signature facehugger. As a stealth game, your best approach is to always attack enemies from behind, which is a one-hit kill regardless of your form. No particular surprise.

Some weirdness:
-
Since the maps is really small, the resources are regenerating. (rocks, trees, animals…)
-
You can’t repair your ride
-
Who the Hell cares about the color of the car?
-
The aliens. Not adding much to the gameplay (nothing)
-
Steam Inventory drop? Well, could give you few cents after marketing them…
-
You can’t do much thing at all, it’s EMPTY.
I remember the “original” version of the game which was a bit different.
But not much progress since…
Supporters pack? Nah, skipping it…

This game is bad, good concept though, gameplay reminds Rust. It is good if it was someone learning how to make video games but it doesn’t even play smoothly.
Why a cap at 30FPS? That was in 2006, now he play at a minimum 60FPS. 30FPS basically broke the game for me.
Didn’t see a single animal, zombie or alien.
Map is limited, I got to a fence or whatever and couldn’t get past.
UI doesn’t seem professional in the slightest. Must get better.
Sound too loud, headphone users be aware when you start the game, you must lower the volume immediately.
