    Can't wait for this game.... The concept art is great. I hope some might be some included with the game, just for eye candy.

    I'm still a little mystified how they managed to make such a complete mess of both movies.

    All they needed to do was pick a story from one of the 100 or so DarkHorse AVP comics, and film it, simple yes?

    But noooooo, not for Hollywood..much better to pick up the phone and go "Hey Paul/Strause brothers, if we give you 50 million bucks do you think you could completely ruin two of the best loved sci fi franchises of all time? yeah cool. Make sure it doesn't make much sense in the context of the old movies, that's important. what? Aliens in the present day? that makes no sense but it sounds cheap to film, I love it. Cool, we'll do lunch when it's finished.."

    @Bill-Lee: Yeah... I watched AVPR two years ago on cable, while in the throws of a high fever... Even the trippy point of view I had at the time didn't save that mess.

    The AVP games were some of the best at nailing the cinematic feel of the story, of capturing the atmosphere, whilst still actually remembering that they were *games*, not *movies*.

    You say that the AVP movies being dead is a good thing, but I would like to disagree. I found the first one to be decent enough, the second was horrible so I will give you that.

    I am still holding out hope they would do one on the Alien or Predator home world. I think that throwdown would be awesome and far better than the grabage that was the AVPR. Still the concept art here is wicked cool and is getting me more excited for the game.

    @Makidian: I agree. That little glimpse we got in the beginning of AVPR was rather sweet. Let's see if Scott's Alien prequel A- gets off the ground, and B - if it makes any money... that might be the deciding factor. Or C - how greedy Fox feels...

    Quintet is a science fiction story starring Paul Newman set during the next ice age where glaciers are slowly destroying the world and the survivors play a murder game called Quintet to keep busy, while civilization is dying under the advancing snows and ice.

    Why not link to "A Colder War", so people can read it?

    AHA! I have something to contribute to the triviagasm, albeit too late for anyone to read it:

    In Banks' "Matter" they unfreeze an Iln from beneath the Nameless City that JUST ABOUT manages to destroy the shellworld of Sursamen!

    If you're mentioning the X-Files, you should mention the episode "Ice" from the first season, which was a whole story centered around mind controlling worms from beneath the ice, as opposed to the X-Files movie, where it was more of a footnote, and hardly any monster action.
