About these games

Aliens versus Predator Classic 2000

Aliens Versus Predator Classic 2000 pits the universe’s three most ferocious species against each other for survival. Players pick one of three campaigns – Colonial Marine, Alien or Predator – and fight through starships, space stations, colonial bases and planetscapes. Each species has its own abilities, weapons and equipment: the Alien scales walls and elevator shafts, the Predator stalks with shoulder cannons and stealth, the Colonial Marine relies on motion trackers and flame-throwers. It also adds a single-player mode against endless Alien hordes and includes all levels from the Gold Edition plus the Millennium Expansion Pack.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command

Starship Troopers: Terran Command is a real-time strategy game set in the Starship Troopers film universe. Under Colonel Hawthorne you lead the Mobile Infantry on the desert planet Kwalasha, where the Arachnids disrupted the miners‘ peaceful lives, and fight to reclaim it. Your army mixes specialised unit types with unlockable elite abilities, such as Rifle Troopers, M11 Marauders and the Fleet Liaison. Tactical positioning is key: True Line of Sight and True Line of Fire limit your field of fire, so elevations and choke points pay off — and watch the tunnels the Bugs pour from.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

The story takes place in 1962, when the Cold War keeps the whole nation gripped by fear. A top-secret government unit called The Bureau starts investigating a series of mysterious attacks by an enemy stronger than communism. As agent Carter, you make the decisions, fire your weapon and lead your squad in a third-person tactical shooter set in a covert war to protect humanity from an otherworldly foe.

Xenomarine

Xenomarine is a dark, atmospheric sci-fi and horror roguelike built around turn-based tactical combat. You play a space marine who starts with only a crowbar and fights through an alien-infested space station against over 120 alien species across infinitely generated levels. There are no starting classes; your character takes shape through the items, weapons and armor you find and upgrade, along with 70 skill levels. The Ascension Edition adds a new storyline about the alien infestation and multidimensional technology, while the roguelike mode makes death permanent and the adventure mode lets you continue after dying.

XCOM: Chimera Squad

XCOM: Chimera Squad offers a new story and turn-based tactical combat set in the XCOM universe. Five years after the events of XCOM 2, humans and aliens are building a civilization of cooperation and coexistence in City 31. Not all inhabitants support the interspecies alliance, so an elite team of human and alien agents, Chimera Squad, fights the underground threats driving the city toward chaos. The player sends chosen agents to investigate and combat dangers in the districts of City 31, uses a new breach phase and interleaved turns based on initiative in combat, and outside of battle runs the HQ and decides which tasks to prioritize.

Dead Space

A remake of the sci-fi survival-horror classic, rebuilt from the ground up with reworked visuals, atmospheric 3D audio and gameplay improvements, and faithful to the original vision. Players become engineer Isaac Clarke, sent to a vast mining ship, the USG Ishimura, for a routine repair, only to find the crew slaughtered and his partner Nicole lost somewhere aboard. Alone and armed only with his engineering tools, he battles creatures called Necromorphs, uncovers the secrets of the ship through final logs of the crew and the survivors he meets, and upgrades his tools to defeat enemies with precision.
