It made me jump

I'm not usually a big fan of the 'horror' genre. At the risk of sounding stupidly macho, I don't scare easily. Horror films such as It, Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th I generally regard as comedies.

So playing this game, and I'm enjoying it. The stealth aspects are amazingly well done, and I love the "you're playing the first Alien movie" design of it. I'm having fun dodging the alien, blowing away survivors and beating the crap out of the androids.

Then the game makes me jump the most I've ever jumped in my life. I was sat there a good ten minutes trying to get my heart under control.

It wasn't the humans. It wasn't the androids. It wasn't even the xenomorph.

It was that sodding train.

Anyways, I got this game for christmas, and couldn't put it down. Fantastic. 9/10.
