Any hoo, with everyone competing for the same space, you know there’s going to be a little conflict and that is where you, the player, come in. For some reason the Predators like to decorate their houses with the skulls of their enemies (which is probably why you never want to sign up for “Trading Spaces” with your Predator neighbor unless you are into that kind of thing or your name is John Yan). Unknown to either group, a Predator hunting party is also on the planet and looking for some new trophies (and they aren’t looking for cheesy bowling trophies either). Predator: Extinction takes place on LV742 (verify) where a joint mining operation is underway between the WeyYuen (verify) and the Colonial Marines and they have run into some seven foot plus tall alien type problems. With this high standard in mind, EA and Fox Interactive (check this along w/developer) decided to create Aliens vs. Predators first person shooters released a few years ago were excellent in the way they incorporated elements from all three of the races (Xenomorph, Colonial Marine, and Predator) and it gives users a good feeling for the nuances of each species by creating three fairly distinct game play modes based on the strengths of each species. Dark Horse comics then ran a great comic book series to further expand on this theory and ever since people have been clamoring for anything that brought these two great franchises together (you know you’ve got a good thing going when one of the bigger fan boy films of the year combines these elements with Batman (link to Batman film)). It all started with the second Predator movie where the films creators showed an Alien skull as Predator trophy onboard their ship at the end of the movie. Predators…those simple words send shivers down the backs of fan boys everywhere.
