After having spent years loving the ease of dual analogue controls I had this feeling going back to using a d-pad to play a Doom clone would be a little difficult. The biggest hurdle returning to this game, which I was initially dreading, were the controls. Of course what makes Alien Trilogy stand out against other Doom clones is it’s based off one of my favourite film franchises, so I am automatically in. The graphical style is very similar as well as the general maze design of the game.

Alien Trilogy is a Doom clone – now I say Doom clone over first person shooter because this game very much mirrors the flurry of games we had in the nineties which were directly inspired by that PC hit. Well several years have passed, I have watched all the Alien films (even got that cool Quadrilogy boxset), and on revisiting this game it’s clearly not as scary as I used to perceive. Something about that Xenomorph stalking you in the dark and coming across as something that could not be killed got to me. I actually played this game before watching any of the films and it genuinely scared me, which is particularly weird as I really had no problems with the horror themes in the original Resident Evil. I will come out and admit that my first experience playing this game I was very young and kinda terrified of the Xenomorph.
Anyway I’m not here to talk about all that, for this months game club I’m going to dive back into Alien Trilogy. It started getting really bad when Aliens decided to fight Predators on the silver screen – a concept that works very well for video games, books, and comics but not on the big screen for some reason. Yes, yes I hear you ask, “what, even Alien 3?” Yeah that film is really not that bad. I am a huge fan of the first three Alien films. Did Alien Trilogy succeed by cloning the more popular franchise and game genre? Find out after the jump. Two games, each with its own take on large popular franchises in the 20th Century Fox vaults, and trying to hit it big. That other team was set to make Die Hard With a Vengeance to release alongside the film and eventually widened scope to release the Die Hard Trilogy.
