In 1979 Ridley Scott released this film about a ragtag bunch of space workers who found a magical space egg that gave birth to their new magical buddy and together they went on a magnificent journey where they learned love, and the meaning of friendship. Sadly everyone perished except for a cat and the coolest woman in space.

Now some assholeswonderful people at The Creative Assembly, who are known for the Total War series of all things, have created the next step in virtual pants-pooping technology.

Now as we all know, after the events of the original film Ripley is in hypersleep until she finally wakes up a bajillion years later in a hospital to take part in a sequel that completely misses the point of the original. Anyway, the big part of the opening scenes of that film show that Ripley pretty much slept through her daughter's entire life. In the special edition you can even see her!

(Fun fact: That's actually Elizabeth Inglis, Sigourney Weaver's mom! Creative Assembly even modeled Amanda Ripley's young looks after her)
In this game you get to play as young Amanda Ripley as she tries to find out just what in the flying space-hell happened to the Nostromo 15 years ago. Her little ragtag Weyland-Yutani crew find out the old heap of a space station called Sevastopol may have gotten some sort of evidence on the whole thing so it's off to a beautiful gas giant in the middle of fucking space nowhere to get some answers. Of course we all know shit hits the fan before you even get there and you find yourself alone with nothing but your wits and the Ripley will-to-survive gene.
I've been streaming this game the past couple nights and it's pretty fun! The human AI is dumb as bricks but the Alien itself is scary as shit. Take a look at an early bit where I poop myself:
