Alien Trilogy

Sci-fi setting

A grim 1996 first-person shooter that recreates the Alien films across 30 levels, as you blast through corridors full of facehuggers, xenomorphs and Queens with a range of weapons. The claustrophobic atmosphere and motion tracker build constant tension.

Descent II

Sci-fi setting

A classic six-degrees-of-freedom shooter where you pilot a ship in every direction through twisting alien mines full of hostile robots. Key hunting, new weapons and disorienting 3D navigation make for intense action.

Alien Breed

Sci-fi setting

A classic top-down shooter where you fight through an alien-infested space station, juggling scarce ammo, health and mission objectives. Its tense sci-fi horror mood is clearly inspired by the Alien films.

Quake II

Sci-fi setting

A landmark sci-fi shooter: a lone marine fights through the industrial hellscape of Stroggos against a cybernetic alien army. It delivers fast gunplay, interconnected hub levels, a pounding metal soundtrack, and influential deathmatch multiplayer.

Abuse

Sci-fi setting

Quake 4

Sci-fi setting

A linear sci-fi shooter on the Doom 3 engine where marine Matthew Kane takes the fight to the Strogg homeworld, featuring the infamous stroggification twist. Squad missions, vehicle sections and fast arena multiplayer round it out.

Descent

Sci-fi setting

A pioneering six-degrees-of-freedom shooter where you pilot a ship in every direction through twisting mine tunnels, destroying hostile robots. Disorienting true-3D mazes and the hunt for keycards give it its unique appeal.

Forsaken

Sci-fi setting

A fast 1998 sci-fi shooter where you pilot a hovering craft through twisting tunnels of a ruined future world, fighting in every direction. Its full six-degrees-of-freedom movement and frantic multiplayer deathmatch set it apart.

Descent 3

Sci-fi setting

A six-degrees-of-freedom shooter where you fly your ship freely through tight tunnels and caverns, fighting hostile robots. Fully three-dimensional movement with no fixed up or down makes it distinctive and demanding.
