Alien Isolation

The_Cast_of_Alien_Trailer
The link above shows a trailer in which all the original actors are voice actors for the game and are saying what they think about the game, I found it really interesting. You can play as Ellen Ripley, Dallas or Parker in the crew expendable.
Below are extracts from an IGN game review of Alien: Isolation, for research into the world of alien.

Alien: Isolation proves one thing more than anything else: things you can’t see are far scarier than things you can.  A theme that rang true through the entire game,

What really made Alien: Isolation shine when compared to other survival horror games was its atmosphere.  Isolation may very well be one of the most atmospheric games I have ever played.  It felt like it was a carbon copy of the distinct 1970’s tone in the original movie.  During the first few minutes of the game, I immediately noticed the old computers that were supposed to look futuristic in 1979 when the movie was made, the drinking bird toy on tables, and the sound effects and music that were used in the movie.  All of those things combined laid the perfect foundation for what is to come -- a scary adventure from hell, just like the one the crew of the Nostromo went through.  I was utterly amazed each and every time I found something else that I recognized from the movie.  Playing Alien: Isolation is literally like getting to be in the movie.  Props to The Creative Assembly for staying true to the franchise.


Alien: Isolation is everything that I hoped it would be.  It nailed the atmosphere of the movie by using several assets from it, the story was a direct sequel to the first movie, and the Alien was incredibly scary throughout the entire game.  Other than the minor issues like the horrid save point system and the Alien being magic, The Creative Assembly did a fantastic fantastic job by releasing such a polished game.  It felt true to the Alien franchise throughout the entire game.  I really hope they are able to work on a sequel for Isolation in the future, and possibly turn it into a series like the movies.
