"I've loved the Alien universe and games since I was young. This book brings everything back in a detailed, atmospheric and compelling way, including genuine classics, fascinating curios, and at least one game I'll defend until I'm dead. Mike's done a proper job here, and is someone who clearly loves this stuff. Essential reading for anyone who's dabbled in the Alien game universe."

This book is a true labour of love of the combined universes of Alien (and Predator) and video games.

It's rare that I read a book about video games and learn something new, but this one's exhaustive and insanely detailed list of everything and anything to do with Aliens games did just that. An absolutely fascinating read packed with anecdotes and details.

A rollercoaster ride that takes in the highest of highs and the lowest of lows of a video game franchise filled with hits, misses, and infuriatingly wasted opportunities. If you want to know the hows and whys of Aliens video games, this is a must. A right riveting read, as they used to say.
