Another Great Aliens Vs Predator Interview

The more I hear about the upcoming Aliens Vs Predator game (for the PS/3, 360 and PC), the more excited I get about it.

This interview with Rebellion art & design guy, Tim Jones, has really sparked my interest. I love the description of the game play and how it differs depending on whether you're a Marine, an Alien or a Predator... and the fact that there will be a different (but connected) single player campaign for each of the three species! Those were both key attributes to the original AvP, and it's gratifying to see that they're being retained in the new version. I loved when I was playing AvP back in 2000 and would suddenly recognize that the scene I was in the middle of as an Alien was the same one that I'd played through previously as a Marine... except that now the humans were the enemy! I don't know that I've ever seen that in any other game, before or since.

About the only downside I can see if this game turns out to be as awesome as I hope is the sad fact that Vicki probably won't want to watch me play it on account of it being so damned scary!
