Don't know if y'all (besides Pretty Wires) played all/any of the Alien videogames, but rate your favorites.

Me:

1. Alien Vs. Predator (PC) or the second one... - because getting drunk and playing as the Alien with 3d shutterglasses on is pure insanity.
2. Aliens (Arcade) - simply a great arcade game
3. Alien Resurrection or Trilogy (Playstation) - good stab at a FPS
4. Alien Vs. Predator (Jaguar) - c'mon, it's the original, give it props!
5. Alien 3 the gun (arcade) - yeah, it's cheesy, but it's kinda fun

LEAST favorites:

1. any side scrolling Alien 3 game (any home system)
2. any Alien game on Commodore 64 (basically impossible to play)
3. Alien (Atari 2600, because Pac-Man clones are really original)

SO BAD I DON'T EVEN NEED TO PLAY IT:
Alien vs. Predator (Xbox)

If you don't know how many are out there, go to gamefaqs.com or whatnot...

My favorite is the Aliens vs. Predator Gold for the PC. I wasn't too fond of the second one. Yes, walking around dark corridoors is cool and all, but I just like Aliens attacking me nonstop. Being the Alien was the coolest thing in the first one because I played it so much I was a gymnast with it after a couple of years.

AvPII for PC.
I could never get anywhere on the first version. And you HAD to play it on "insanity" difficulty in order to unlock the extra levels. I gave up after repeatedly getting killed on the second level playing as the Marine.
After the first dozen times, it's like I was being mocked.

I have that game, but not the non-label version. I can't play it as I don't have an Atari system, but I have played it on my brother in laws MAME emulator on PC.
It's an ok game, until you find out you are really playing a modified version of packman. Sad
