Alien: Isolation...

Ah yes the Ripley edition, just noticed that. It's just the extra mission where you set the self destruct and make way for the escape pod - I think I can wait for that on DLC as I still get the Nostromo mission to play as one of the 3 remaining characters to trap the Alien.

AvP on the Atari Jaguar has never been beaten, it was genuinely scary. Watching others try to play it was hilarious, the genuine shrieks and cries for mommy never got old :D

I must confess I bought a Jaguar just for that game (at a reduced price). The story line was new and far more creative than other AVP games.

For it's day the graphics were good, and like you genuinely said scared the pants of you. Much more of a bug hunt than the later games.

I wish they would go back to that story, and make an improved version.

Aliens isolation looks far more convincing than other Alien games.

The expansion allowed you to explore Voyager didn't it? I never played that, just the main game but forgot almost everything heh.

I never played it either, but the idea of exploring the ship sounds fun, the main game just gave you a few decks, bridge engineering, briefing room etc
 
Hmm reading this details on this listing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Star-Trek...ideo_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item56676e7dc4

Seems single player gamers don't benefit as much as multiplayer with the expansion?

Edit*

Perhaps not :D

The second feature was a "Virtual Voyager" sub-game, accessed separately from the main game, but taking place shortly before the game's final level. It allowed players to explore various decks of the starship, in great detail – accurately portraying areas of the ship seen on the televised series, but also expanding on the Elite Force universe as well. Areas that could be explored included main engineering, bridge, mess hall, sickbay, astrometrics and the cargo bay. The "aim" of the sub-game was to find various hidden objects and achieve objectives, while giving the player an opportunity to interact with characters – including the main cast – and use certain ship functions, such as the landing struts, the holodeck (where you could use a new weapon, the Captain Proton ray gun), transporters and others. It also provided a sort of "history" (in the form of log entries) as to what happened during the formation of the Hazard Team.

The layout of Voyager shown in the sub-game differs slightly from that established in the series. For example, Harry Kim's quarters are established as being on Deck 6 in "Waking Moments", while in the sub-game they are on Deck 2 (together with the quarters of Neelix and Alexander Munro). In addition, some decks are only partially accessible, with others completely inaccessible.

The final feature added more multiplayer maps and playing modes.

Once again, nothing from Ian Holm. The man has never spoken about Alien since the movie was made. Shame, would love to see his input on something like this.

I heard that Ridley Scott is not considered an actor friendly director. Ian Holm really hated milk yet had to spend several hours covered in it and gargling with it. Holm Hated the scene yet Ridley Scott loved it.

I kind of gather Ian Holm didn't have the best time on the set in general.
 
I have read that too, however it has always struck me as odd that he never involved himself once with the franchise past the movie. In all the hours of documentaries, featurettes,commentaries etc not a single word from the man. Like you say, he didnt have a good time making it but you would have thought he might have gotten over it 35 years later.
