It has been a couple of years since the last Alien-based game released. In June, we'll be getting a brand new one, with Aliens: Dark Descent set to launch.  Today marks the release of the official gameplay trailer for Aliens: Dark Descent, a new game based on the Aliens IP. …

The Alien franchise has had a rocky and inconsistent track record across all of the various mediums which it exists within, including video games. 20th Century Games has now announced a partnership with Survios to create a brand new “intense single-player, action-horror game set in the iconic Alien universe.” Making …

Aliens: Colonial Marines released to a critical drubbing from all corners of the gaming press back in 2013.  The game went on to be one of the poster boys for the ‘downgrade' phenomenon that also affected games like Watch Dogs. Aliens: Colonial Marines looked fantastic in press demos, but when …

One of the more eye catching stories in the world of science in the past week involved one researcher's suggestion that the dimming of a distant star known as KIC 8462852 in a strange pattern, could suggest giant “alien megastructures,” were orbiting it.
