AVP2 was great, graphics are a bit old now, but that doesn't really take anything away from it as a great game. Your first couple of levels as a marine...scary tunnel bit where you have to turn on some power relay and all of a sudden a ceiling panel blows out and some pipes/cables fall down - scared the crap out of me. Then there's the bit soon after where you get movement on your motion detector; beep... beep... beep... beep... beep... beep... beep... beep... it turned out to be a chain hanging from a crane in an outside courtyard, swinging in the wind. I must have spent a half hour cautiously searching the area for bad guys only to be lulled into a false sense of security so that when I finally did encounter some aliens I ran away lmao.
On the subject of the Aliens films/games, who has never looked at the false drop ceiling panels in their office/home or wherever in quite the same light again?:hmm:

Doom 3 I never did finnish. Too many late nights with the sound turned up loud and the lights off The sound made that game so much more freaky. I blame that Trent Rezner (sp?) guy and his ******up NIN atmosphereic sound recording. Maybe I'll get round to finishing it one day.
