A new Predator film will hit theaters this year. Directed by Nimrod Antal, this movie will feature Laurence Fishburne, Adrien Brody, Alice Braga, Topher Grace and Danny Trejo as a group of killers kidnapped and transported to an alien world to serve as prey for a race of remorseless alien hunters… the PREDATORS!

Fishburne will be playing as a survivor and scavenger who was sent to the alien world long before the new batch of prey were they. Together with the aid from Fishburne, they stand a prospect to survive..well that’s if they don’t kill each other before the Predators get them.

This is one movie that is on my top “Must Watch” films of 2010. I just hope that this new Predator film will have a great storyline and not just superb graphics and gore. Now, if you didn’t already know, here is a lot of extra data in regards to the basi Predator film that made it an Icon.

In 1987, Arnold Schwarzenegger Arnie led a group of elite commandos sent by the C.I.A. to a Central America on a rescue mission. During the mission, bad things started to occur and one by one, Arnie’s commandos were tracked down down and killed by an alien from outer space. They were hunted down by one of the most coolest alien formulated on film..a Predator. Predators are an alien race which finds other life forms, hunts them down and makes trophies out of their skulls. Cool!

Well, like most Arnie movies, he spoke in a weird accent..(this comment has no relevance whatsoever to this article but, I just felt like I necessitated to point that out.) In the 1987 Predator movie, Arnie alone managed to survive the manhunt after taking a mud-bath for his skin complexion and running around through an impressive funhouse of traps he made to trap the Predator.

Eventually, in the end the predator decisive to blow itself up not before making a joke out of Arnie’s accent by mimicking him. Yes, I believe, the Predator was the real star of the movie for actually making fun of Arnie before he died. Since then, Predators became one of the most famous aliens alongside another vicious alien race called..uh..ALIENS.

Wow, I would have never thought of “ALIENS” as a name for a new alien race. I mean it is so vague I would wonder what’s it about. Then again, I’m not a movie maker. In 1990, Predator 2 hit theaters starring Danny Glover and Gary Busey. In 2004 and 2007, two films (Alien Vs. Predator & Alien Vs. Predator 2: Requiem) featured both of these alien races battling it out. I’m just waiting for a ‘Alien & Predator Vs. Chuck Norris’ movie. Now that would be super awesome.

Aliens Vs Predator 2 Primal Hunt

Go to the Planet LV1201, where three diverse and bloodthirsty species battle for survival. The action is heart-stopping. You may choose to play as Alien, Predator, or Marine as you use your physical prowess, killer instincts, or superior firepower to stay alive.

ReviewThe Alien and the Predator are two of filmdom’s most beloved and dire creations, and fans have been clamoring for a matchup among the two species for years. Their dreams were teased by a brief shot of an alien skull in the Predator’s trophy room in Predator 2, indulged by assorted uneven pairings in comic books, and at long last fulfilled in Rebellion’s underrated Aliens Versus Predator video game. Fox Interactive, teamed this time with developer Monolith, delights these fans again with Aliens Versus Predator 2, and the result is without apparent effort one of the most intense 3-D shooters ever released.

Like in the primary game, there are three distinct campaigns. One lets you play as the Predator, another as an Alien, and a third as the overconfident humans they prey upon. This time out the stories are much more detailed, even crossing over in interesting ways. The plot worries galore arrogant humane scientists, a group of heroic marines, a rogue Predator, and the faceless Alien horde found on LV-1201 (the planet from the firstborn two Alien films).

As a human, you play a fearless roughneck sent to check things out and carry out missions. This in general involves rescuing fellow marines, recon work, restoring power to respective systems, and attempting to stay alive versus fast-moving killing machines with acid for blood and nasty dispositions. You’re armed with the unbelievable pulse rifle from the films, other weapons such as a knife and a smart gun (which mechanically locks onto targets for you), a tension-inducing motion tracker, and a shoulder-mounted flashlight that casts eerie shadows. The Predator is armed with his shoulder cannon, cloaking device, spear, and his famous wrist claws.

The Alien venture is the most interesting as it initial casts you as the spiderlike face hugger. You’ve got to roam the corridors looking for a solitary victim. Once you implant a human, you play the little and snakelike chest-burster, seeking out rodents and other tiny prey so you may quickly molt and grow into a full-fledged alien. Then all hell breaks loose as the people become your prey. You may claw, carry out a head bite (which restores health), and carry through a fearsome pounce attack that in a literal sense explodes the target. Aliens may likewise cling and climb on walls, which takes a heap of getting applied to, but the effect is exhilarating, as is the hunt.

The graphics are evocative of the films and feature strobe lights, flashing reds and whites, plentiful darkness, abandoned barricades, sputtering ruined equipment, and horrific scenes of carnage. The music rises and falls with the drama and draws to a great extent from the Alien films in particular. And the game is relentlessly creepy, whether or not you are the hunter or hunted. The audio is evenly effective, from screaming people to screeching alien attackers to the intimate Predator purring chuckle. The game is likewise filled with often funny conversations amid guards, marines, and scientists.

The three campaigns offer 21 missions, but the wide range of multiplayer game modes is worthy of particular mention. The game has legs, no matter which species you prefer, and already a community has sprung up for challenges amid gamers. Unfortunately, the Net code is a bit buggy: be sure to download the latest patch.

Monolith has produced a much better game than the former installment, primarily by pumping up the atmosphere, refining the controls, and making sure the three stories combine into a dandier tale of horror and survival. Oh, and most significantly to some, the game lets you save whenever you want. Just do not forget this when playing the game–on the Internet, no one may listen you scream, but your neighbors can. –Bob Andrews

Pros:

• Superb atmosphere that evokes the best of the movies
• Excellent graphics and single-player gaming

Cons:

• You need the marines to do a bug hunt in the multiplayer code

Aliens Versus Predator 2, sequel to one of the most horrendous games ever made, takes you to Planet LV1201, where three of the most dangerous and bloodthirsty species in the galaxy battle for survival. The story-driven plot weaves together the fates of all three species. The action is as intense as the blockbuster films on which the game is based. Choose to play as Alien, Predator, or Marine, and use your physical prowess, killer instincts, or superior firepower to stay alive.

Get this game (if your computer may handle it).

This game is a immense betterment over the flawed original. For one, the graphics are much better, even though not as good as a heap of of the newer games out there. Still, they aren’t bad and the atmosphere in the game is wonderful. Where the primary felt more like a run-of-the mill shooter wherein the player mowed down hordes of Aliens (or humans, if you played as the Alien or Predator), this one still has you facing hordes of foes but does a much better occupation of emulating the movies’ creepy feel. As an example, the initial level in the marine venture has perfectly no foes in it but it is, IMO, one of the best levels in the single player game. Though there are no foes, scripted events abound as you, cut off from your team, undertake to make your way back to them. As you go along you’ll bump into a few survivors and, before you may do anything, see them slain by the Predator (with suitably tantalizing glances of the cloaked predator). You’ll find proof of the Aliens’ and Predators’ handiwork all around, ‘something’ will rattle through a duct nearby, things will break or other than as supposed or expected go haywire in such a way as to make you jump. The atmosphere is pulled off rather well in the Predator and Alien campaigns as well, though they are not as creepy as the Marine campaign.

Beyond that, the encounters for each race seem fitting and all of the races are reasonably well balanced. The Alien can’t take a great deal of punishment but it is fast and lethal if it gets in close quarters (and it may climb nearly any surface), the Marine isn’t terribly lasting either, but with his motion tracker and a excessive damage and destruction arsenal he may be a match for either of the other two races, the Predator is reasonably tough and has a great deal of good weapons but not anything as strictly damaging as a great deal of of the Marine weapons. The Alien venture also has one particularly cool feature in that you start out it as a facehugger, your goal then is to keep out of the way of the humans until you may find a suitably detached host. Once thats done, you become the chestburster, the ‘child’ stage of the Alien, again you have to sneak around until you grow larger. Once that has happened you become a full grown Alien and the flesh-rending fun begins .

If I have any complaints it is that the ‘minimum requirements’ for this game are a joke. As with most graphically intensive games, your RAM and the quality of your 3d card are more important. If you have a decent 3D card and 256 or more megs of RAM you must be okay, however, if you have only the 128 megs the box calls for, the game will stutter a lot even in the lower detail ranges. (…) That and you’ll want to do a full install for greatest or most complete or best possible performance. The closely one and a half gigs that the full install eats up may be painful if you have a little hard drive . Though it is a fun game at any detail level, being competent to max the graphics out surely helps .

To sum it up, this game is unquestionably worth the cash and a good follow up to the original, even though you’ll want to have a reasonably beefy computer to run it well.

Oh-My-God
By A
As a big fan of the firstborn Aliens Versus Predator, I was naturally excessively affected emotionally when i heard regarding the sequal. And, i will have to say, that when i primary played the Single Player Demo (in which you play as a Colonial marine), i was somewhat dissappointed. The Aliens looked wrong, the game played like a slide-show…it genuinely annoyed me that a sequal with such high potential will have to be such a let down…
But since playing the much more not long ago freed MultiPlayer Demo, and then the final game, i will have to say, all that apprehension has gone, and has been substituted by a sentiment of love…love for this game. The Aliens now look much better, the animations are superb, the game is much quicker and plays fine on my computer.
And, the best part…i in the long run recognise what it is like to play a Predator and an Alien in AvP2.
Both of these species have been given their full due attention, with without doubt or question a lot of thought been put into keeping them consistant with the movies. The Predator has his cloak, which turns off when he falls underwater (a nice touch), along with all the other weapons from the movies…with the additions of a few more. Also, rather of exceedingly unrealistic ‘Field Charges’ randomly dropped around levels to recharge the Predator’s energy, the Predator now has a useable Recharger…which fits in utterly with his Healing MediComp. These might sound like an unfair advantage, but remember…both disable the cloak and the Recharger gives off a rediculous amout of light and electricity…which may be seen a mile away.
the Alien has all the old bestloved moves (Claw attack, Tail attack, Headbite), with the addition of a new one…the Pounce, which may in a literal sense fling the Alien player all the way throughout the map!
The Marine gets a good deal of handy new weapons and abilities…two of the best are his Hand Welding Torch, which may be applied to open and seal doorways and vents, and his shoulder lamp, a feature which was necessitated a heap of a time in the basi game.
The sights, sounds and feel of the films have been recreated to a tee in this Gem of a game, and it is gratifying for both die-hard Alien or Predator fans, and traditionalisti FPS fans alike. I give it 5 stars.

Alien Versus Predator 2 (AVP2)
By Adil Sohail Qureshi
I had played the original one as well. Although AVP was a good game. It had no story what so ever and the gameplay is basically just running from point A to Point B.

This game fixed all of that. It has a good story to it.
The setting takes place in a Planet called LV-1201. Where “the Company” is doing exploration on alien Xenomorphs. But when an egg hatches in an unsecure emplacement and impreginates an officer (who later dies for the duration of the embryo’s birth). Everything goes out of control.

The Graphics are awful as always. But the sound has mainly improved. It sounds almost like the movies. The game play has also went up as well. The drawback notwithstanding is that the game is short. Plus you ought to have a Pentium 3 at 700 Mhg+ and 256MB RAM+ for a smooth performance.

Like the former game you get to play the 3 charactors.

THe Predator who has all the high tech gimmicks from the plasma Shoulder cannon to the “Disc”. He comes to the planet just to hunt. But when his friends are captured. He then tries to rescue them. Only to find out that he has a good deal of not finished bussiness (of 20 years) to attend to.

The Human you play is a Marine name Cpl. Harrison. He may have all the firepower a man would need plus all the widgets to bypass computers and doors and to weld off locks. He is sent with a Platoon to rescue any survivors and to keep the place intact. Only to find out that “The Company” has other plans with the Marines.

The Alien you play is the most interesting one of all. You begin out as a Facehugger (a spiderlike creature) looking for a host. To a Baby alien looking for food, to an adult drone looking for the hive. He (or she) is the one who started the whole mess at LV-1201.
The alien has no external weapons what so ever. All it hs is his tale and claws like hands. It may also climb on walls and ceilings.

THe story is interesting because the three charactors “bump” into each other for the duration of the game.
you likewise get to detect persons talking to each other (somtimes taking dialog from the movies. That makes the game more alive.

If you love the movies then get this game.
