I'm hoping that we get some juicy Alien movie and video game news this coming Alien Day. Even if it's just the official title of the Alien: Isolation sequel, or a classic game bundle. I'll take anything, really!

The Testament of Ann Lee is easily one of my favourite films of recent years and I cannot recommend it highly enough. An emphatic and sincere triumph of filmmaking. Amanda Seyfried's rapturous performance demands to be seen on the big screen. Go see it while you can!

The atmosphere of Resident Evil Requiem from the first minute is outrageous. I'm having to walk away from the game every 30 mins because those Grace sections are suffocating. Looks unbelievable on the PS5 Pro btw. A real showcase game for the current gen, and proof next gen should be years away.

Basically, I wanted to dig into the different games of Alien 3. Which turned into: why not do all the Alien games, as a book? And why not cover every AvP game? And several unlicensed, cancelled and fan games? And that book is out at the end of August. It's come out alright, I reckon.

The cover of Aliens: The Video Games, a book I've written. The cover, with art by Samantha Mackenzie Greer, shows someone playing a video game with an ominous alien-like shadow behind them. The book is unofficial - it's not licensed from/endorsed by Fox or Disney. But it does have over 20 new interviews in it, all exclusive to the book, covering games from 1984 to 2024. It packs in plenty of archive material, concept art and screens, product photography, and a few words on just a few of the 1000s of games to be inspired by Aliens. It's out at the end of August and pre-orders are live now at Amazon and Waterstones, with more retailers adding their listings in March. Give it a look, if it sounds like your thing. It effectively plots a course through the last five decades of Video Game Design, as seen through an Alien lens. From basic stealth games and mazes to intense VR experiences, via multiple console ports, ambitious failures, light-gun fun and at least one game that can be completed in less than three minutes. Lots more on it, soon... (also, I am very available for chats about it, and interested journos can DM me for an advance PDF).
