I mainly collect for the Sega Genesis and original Game Boy, but I also enjoy quite a few other systems more casually.

Skippy B. Coyote

Having just returned from seeing Alien: Covenant, my spoiler-free thoughts on it (from the perspective of a huge Alien series fanboy) are as follows: It was better than Prometheus but not quite as good as the first 4 films, though fans of the original Alien will appreciate the constant nods to it throughout.

  Also, holy cow did this movie ever have way more gore than any previous Alien series movie! Possibly more than the previous 5 all put together.

  (sigh) so tired of gore. I want action, story, characters, good theme music - and a small amount of gore is okay.

  I actually agree with you there Grig. I think there are much better ways to scare the audience than to throw buckets of blood at them, though at least it made sense in the context of this particular movie and didn't seem gratuitous because of it.
  
  Also, my proper short review is up: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/260374-alien-covenant-ridley-scott-may-2017/?p=3764575
