Although a Predator relies heavily on stealth and high-tech alien technology, playing as one requires a certain degree of planning and strategy to separate out prey and take them out. When you think about it, enemies don't stand much of a chance. Players get to figure out their roles as hunters or prey when Aliens vs Predator releases on February 16th.

The quality of the Alien vs. Predator movies has strayed about as far away from the greatness that started the respective film franchises as humanly possible. But the guys at Gearbox are doing their darnedest to change that by breathing life (or planting facehugger eggs) into the Alien property through their upcoming fragger, Aliens: Colonial Marines. Gearbox's Mike Gallo chatted with Computer and Video Games recently and gave us a chest-bursting amount of information.

A:CM takes place after the events in Alien 3, and picks up right after the marines were all wiped out on LV-426. The game is directly inspired by the films and they've actually hired Syd Mead (the conceptual designer for the films) to work on the game. Players will be able to take control of several different marines and experience the story from several different PoVs. In addition, the games comes with a co-op mode and a four-person campaign mode.

Hopefully this will be be as raucous a game as an express elevator to hell, and not "game over" for this wonderful IP.
