When it comes to comic books, crossovers are old news – but we’ve never seen one as equally cute and terrifying as this…

Story Trailer eh? Well – first let me say that a story trailer is not what I was hoping for. What I really wanted was some reassurance that this was going to be an atmospheric, intense, carefully balanced and balls-out entertaining multiplayer extravaganza. Story trailers tend to suggest that some focus is being spent on a plot. Plot’s are boring, especially Alien and Predator plots – infamously so, in fact.

Looking at this trailer it quickly becomes evident that the human-alien-predator love triangle I had hoped for will not be present. Instead we have a bunch of marines landing in a recently constructed and mysteriously deserted space facility that turns out to be jam-packed with various hunters and xenomorphs. It’s every contractor’s nightmare scenario, really – you build a dream resort/mining facility only to find out once everyone’s moved in that the neighbours are bloodthirsty murderers locked in a symbiotic murder-fight.

That’s right, a murder-fight. (yes it’s a real thing)

This trailer could benefit from a little more murder-fighting. The sneaky gameplay glimpses are pretty neat – I spotted the ‘dragging hands’ that surely means an alien has got you by the rump and is hauling you back to the nest, amongst other little clues as to how this game will actually play out.

I want this game to work. C’mon Rebellion, give us the cross-species multiplayer murder-fight we so badly need.

Aliens! If Hollywood is to be believed, the US Airforce is the only hope we’ll have against a full-on extra-terrestrial invasion, although in recent years the evidence (well..Independence Day…) shows that they’d be ably backed up by Her Majesty’s forces. Well, not any more baby.

Today saw the MoD shut down that most vital area of national defence-UFO investigations! According to a spokesman for the RAF:

“There is no defence benefit in such investigation and it would be an inappropriate use of defence resources.”

After a half-decade in which bug-eyed space beasts have resolutely refused to appear in the skies over London, the ministry will instead focus its budget on more oil rich/important issues like blowing up most of the middle east, presumable handing over space defence to the Green Lantern Corps.

A weird circular formation in Eastern Russia has been spotted on Google Maps. Ok, so it’s far more likely to be a crater with contaminated water pouring into it from unsafe Russian factories or a strip mine full of chemicals, but it would be nice to think aliens have been growing bases in remote parts of the world. Odd choice of colour though.
