There's a 4th, Cold Forge, while not an extension of Ripleys story it's better than the trilogy. Not that the trilogy is bad, it's just a step up in story telling.

I thought the first one was a bit patchy tbh. Tried to force Ripley in to the story unnecessarily imo. The other two were excellent though.

Do you have a link? I can find "River of Pain" (which I think is the one you are referring to) but it's only free if you take the Audible 7-day trial.
ah yeah, sorry its free if you are a member. Though I suppose you can sign up for the free 30 day trial, get it for free and then cancel your membership

Did you ever go on the Alien Encounter ride at the Magic Kingdom? I'd watched Aliens with my father at some point before and when we went on this ride I was convinced it was real and we were all going to die. I was six or seven. Nothing will ever top that ride for me.
edit: I'm a dummy and read Islands of Adventure

Yeah that one is very good. First one is pretty rubbish though, and the second one...with the psychic that can sense the aliens...pfft. They're all worth listening to if you're an Alien nerd but only the third one (River Of Pain) I would really recommend. It's great.

I finally picked this up for £8.50 via a cdkeys code and now its 75% off lol - typical. Although think my code included a lot of the additonal dlc so probably still better value. Just need to play it now.

The one in London? I have a voucher for it that came with a facehugger VHS box set. But sadly not.

Yeah, I went to it at the Trocadero waaay back in the day.
Was good fun and even got shouted at by one of the marines when I was giggling with a mate She really got into character.

A 7 part mini series just got released. Mostly it's a retread of the game's story using its cutscenes with a little bit of new stuff set directly after. Reminds me that I need to check out the comic.
On the one hand it's nice to know they haven't forgotten about the game, but on the other it's bloody annoying that none of these follow-ups is a proper sequel. Maybe if they keep interest up it might actually materialse into a game some day.

Interesting, thanks. It looks like they’ve added new stuff at the beginning as well. You don’t see Amanda spinning round like that. I’ll watch it over the weekend when I’ve got time. Is the only place to see it on IGN?
It's boils my pee that the series is an IGN exclusive when they pretty much made sure Isolation was a flop with their initial reviews.
Is there enough new material in the web series to be worth watching for someone who's played the game extensively and remembers most of the cutscene stuff.
On a side note, watching Alien (1979) in the cinema tonight...whoop whoop.

Man, if you're an Alien fan, you shouldn't even be asking that question. You should be glued to your screen watching it again and again and again and again. LOL.

Look, i've watched the trainwreck of Covenant 5 times, that's how much of a fan I am
I’m ashamed to say I haven’t seen that once yet. And I’m a massive Alien fan.

I think I've seen it. Can't remember a thing about it though.Look, i've watched the trainwreck of Covenant 5 times, that's how much of a fan I am
Trainwreck might be a little harsh, certainly until the mid point it's pretty good but then it falls apart rapidly.
