A First Look at Aliens vs Predator

First, I should mention that my opinion may be a little bit biased, since I absolutely love the AvP universe (the movies don't count, don't even bring them up). This could result in either hating the game or absolutely loving it, but whichever the case may be, like in any legend, its roots will still be pla...

The PS3 Got an Updated Aliens vs Predator Demo

While not necessa...

Deathmatch Was a Rather Poor Demo Mode for AvP, Rebellion Offers Explanation for It

While Rebellion released its demo for Aliens vs Predator almost two weeks ago, most of the players that got their hands on it were pretty discontent with what they saw.

AvP Isn't in the Same Multiplayer War with Other FPS

While the single player is definitely the biggest part of Rebellion's upcoming Aliens vs Predator, with three different campaigns and a powerful atmospheric and immerisve element, the game also has a multiplayer that can make its developers proud.

Aliens vs Predator, the Marine Is the God of Multiplayer

Yes, you read it right. At least in the demo, where everyone is still getting the hang of things, the Marines are the kings of the game. Out of seven played matches, each and every time, a Marine was on top. This was because, at first at least, theory and reality didn't mix. What works great on paper, gets compl...
