Aliens versus Predator, a new game by Fox Interactive is obtained by the editors. It is a fast, bloody ego-shooter in which you take on the role as marine, alien or predator and battle the others while you have to fulfill some objectives. Good 3D-graphics with an atmospharic soundtrack and effects make the game interesting. We'll have to see if it offers long-term motivation...
