In Wil's new weekly classic videogame review column in The Onion A.V. Club, he tackles Alien this week. Here's the link - good review...

 

Here's a taste, but I recommend reading the whole review at the link...

 

Could be mistaken for: Pac-Man, if Atari's Pac-Man didn't suck out loud.

 

Kids today might not like it because: Unlike the Atari versions of Raiders Of The Lost Ark and E.T., Alien doesn't try to recreate the plot of the movie.

 

Kids today might like it because: Unlike the Atari versions of Raiders Of The Lost Ark and E.T., this is actually a fun game.

 

Enduring contribution to gaming history: When you sit down at your fancy Xbox, in your fancy castle on the Fancywine River in Fancyland, and you play Lord Of The Rings, have one of your servants give thanks to 20th Century Fox and Alien for inspiring a generation of programmers to create games based on movies, Fancypants.
