containing a dark and horrible secret. Across the stars a race of
warriors is alerted to the discovery of their pyramid and a hunting
party is dispatched to ensure that it remains sealed at all costs,
whilst deep inside the ruined pyramid a malevolent intelligence awakes
from centuries of dormancy.

horrors lurking in the dark. Beset on all sides yet armed to the
teeth, the Colonial Marine represents humanity’s last stand with the
firepower to fight back.
Alien

murderous and lethal creature in the universe, with the ability to
traverse any surface with awesome agility in order to get close enough
to unleash its deadly teeth and claws.
Predator
A master of the hunt, the Predator grants the player a suite of exotic
weaponry and equipment with which to stalk its unknowing prey. Earn
the greatest honour by ambushing prey up-close and butchering them for
a gory trophy kill.
