1. August 2004?
You can just imagine the jokes Letterman and Leno and the rest will be making of Aliens v Predator. Which one will be the Democrat?

Actually, I think the democrat would be the Predator, since the Alien is pretty much just a mindless beast designed to destroy everything around it. Imagine Condi as the ALien QUeen...

4. The Alien would be the republican
and the Predator would be a libertarian.

12. the games are simple but great
Edited on Mon Nov-03-03 12:06 PM by Kamika
There is a story line in the games the best game is AvP2

You can play as either marine, alien or predator.

The marine story is best but they all belong together

It was awhile since i played them but its like this.

Theres a terran outpost that gets infected by alien. (you play alien here, from the facehugger - parasite - fullgrown alien.

Then theres the next chapter..youre the predator.

Its like 50 years in the future.. you basicly go there to Hunt but you run across not only aliens , you meet marines aswell.

Then theres the marine. Youare there to investigate what happened to the outpost in the first two chapters and run acrossboth aliens and a predator.

It sounds simple but its oh so good

7. Before anyone gets excited, read this
(Spoilers within)

It appears that they might be ignoring BIG aspects of Alien/Predator mythology, so don't expect it to be that good and you might like it.

8. I always like this sort of thing
because it reminds me of drunken conversations.

"OK, in a fight, who would win: Jesus, or Lou Ferrigno?"
"Oh, man, Lou for sure."
"What if Jesus had a baseball bat?"


etc. ;)

9. Gack
Alien belongs in the pantheon of great monsters with the likes of Frankenstein and the Mummy. Predator is dreck. Forgettable dreck. I don't want those two near each other.
