Alien Resurrection was stuck in development Hell, with a canceled Dreamcast Version and a PlayStation version that didn't release until months after the movie in 1999, flopping painfully. Sadly, that would be it for truly memorable Aliens games for a while. It also had some wonderfully atmospheric music. However, it had Aliens in it, and I was still at the age where glass that shattered when you shot it impressed me, so the game became a great love of mine. It was an FPS, and a very derivative one at that, doing absolutely nothing that Doom didn't do years beforehand. It was one of the first games I ever got for my PlayStation, and as such, has earned itself a place among my personal favorites. It was cloned using the Half-Life engine, but unfortunately FOX threatened legal action and the whole plan was scrapped. The Mythic-developed Aliens Online was popular enough for a group of fans to try and keep playing after the game was canceled.
