Alien Breed

96 %

1991 PlayStation

  • Sci-fi setting
  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Challenging difficulty

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.

Alien Trilogy

Dark, serious atmosphere

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.

Aliens versus Predator

Dark, serious atmosphere

A classic first-person shooter with three separate campaigns as Marine, Predator or Alien. Each species has its own abilities and weapons, giving a very different feel from tense horror to stalking prey.

Alpha Prime

Realistic visuals

A sci-fi first-person shooter set in a remote asteroid mining base where something has gone horribly wrong. You fight through the facility with futuristic weapons and gadgets while uncovering the threat.

Bio Menace

Realistic visuals

Crusader: No Remorse

Dark, serious atmosphere

An isometric sci-fi action shooter where you play a defecting Silencer taking down a corrupt world government with heavy weapons, destructible environments, and tricky traps and puzzles.

Descent

Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Descent II

Action-packed real-time combat

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.

Codename: Gordon

Action-packed real-time combat

A free 2D Flash sidescroller that brings Half-Life 2 into a side view: as Gordon Freeman you fight through levels with familiar weapons, enemies and locations, mixed with light puzzles.

Half-Life: Uplink

Realistic visuals

Uplink is a short standalone Half-Life demo built from content cut from the main game. It delivers classic shooter action with familiar weapons and enemies in a research facility setting.
