By YPB Team

The Alien franchise has spawned decades of video games — from terrifying survival horror to explosive action. Which one do you think is the best Alien game of all time?

Alien: Isolation

Creative Assembly's 2014 survival horror masterpiece put players aboard a decaying space station with a single, unkillable Xenomorph, recreating Ridley Scott's original film terror perfectly.

Aliens: Dark Descent

Focus Entertainment's 2023 real-time tactics game put players in command of a Colonial Marines squad navigating xenomorph-infested territory in a fresh and lauded take on the universe.

Aliens vs. Predator 2

Monolith Productions' 2001 PC sequel delivered three distinct campaigns for Marine, Alien, and Predator, widely considered the finest AvP gaming experience ever made.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite

Cold Iron Studios' 2021 co-op shooter offered a fun, team-based approach to fighting xenomorphs across well-crafted wave-defense missions in the Aliens universe.

Alien vs. Predator (Capcom Arcade)

Capcom's beloved 1994 arcade beat-em-up let up to three players battle xenomorphs and predators in colorful side-scrolling chaos that remains a fan-favorite cult classic.

Aliens vs. Predator (1999 PC)

Rebellion's 1999 PC game offered tense, atmospheric gameplay across three species' perspectives on the same space station, setting a benchmark for Alien games at the time.

Alien Trilogy

Acclaim's 1996 first-person shooter compressed the events of all three films into one pulse-pounding game that became a landmark FPS title of its era.

Alien: Rogue Incursion

Survios's 2024 VR entry delivered a genuinely frightening first-person horror experience that put players face-to-face with xenomorphs in immersive virtual reality.

Aliens vs. Predator (2010)

Rebellion's 2010 multiplatform reboot brought updated graphics and three distinct species campaigns to a new console generation eager for franchise thrills.

Alien 3 (SNES)

LJN's 1993 SNES adaptation surprised critics with tight side-scrolling action that captured the bleak, industrial dread of the film far better than most licensed games of the era.
