Aliens Vs Predator back on the menu

Video: A new trailer, plus more good news for xenomorph fans.

While we were away enjoying tonnes of food and beer, Sega appealed last year's effective banning of Aliens Vs Predator - and the company got the result we were all hope for.

On February 18, we get to run from aliens, rack up kills as a predator, and face-bite marines as an alien. Oh yes. 

What's more, we've also got a new trailer and details of what's in the super-speccy collectors - or Hunter - edition, and the neato Survivor edition.

Survivor Edition
Limited Edition Steelbook
4 x Exclusive multiplayer maps

Hunter Edition
Prestige Packaging
The Survivor Edition (Steelbook + Exclusive maps)
Replica Mouldable Facehugger
Weyland logo - material sleeve badge
3D Lenticular card

And, to whet our appetite for destruction, there's a new trailer to boot.

Ten points for folks who recognise the voice :)

I will buy the survivor version. I'd prefer if they didn't go with GfWL. I wonder if it will be on Steam for me to buy?

The facehugger looks alright in theory but it'll just be plastic like everything else has been lately...

Am I the only one sick of Collectors Editions? Oh and having the buy them for the 'exclusive multiplayer map'... Not cool

Just gotta say that the media player you guys use really sucks.

Pausing and shit really fucks up.

It's in the 'Coming Soon' games list on steam. I assume it'll work as Fallout 3 does: Buy on steam, play thru Steam AND GFWL.

Dunno if it's just my work's net connection that has trouble loading the video fast enough.

When going full screen after playing has started, seems to keep reseting.

I can never get the embedded videos on your site to play without getting serious lag or the damn thing restarting constantly.

I'm sure there's an easy solution - anyone care to provide it? Do I need a specific addon to help it play in Firefox?

But that trailer was freakin awesome! When it finally played all the way through.

Little kids shouldn't be playing this game dammit! Don't let that muppet from South Australia see your comments dude - it'll end up like Left4Dead2: invisible zombies!

Shame about the CE pack. Facehugger looks small now Ive noticed it in the packaging (Plus it has pink bits on the front of it? Pretty sure all the pink bits are underneath the main body). No artbook? Behind the scenes/making of DVD? Dogtags? Fact cards? Soundtrack?

Sorry - not trying to be a downer (Anyone who knows me knows I love this Alien and Pred shit), but now Ive taken a look at the pack, seems kinda bland :(

Normal for me - Frees up a CE for someone else :)

This is the one game actually worth buying in a long time -except for Batman.

I'll only get the normal as well, coz all that other junk is just gonna sit in the cupboard.

But fuck yeah, I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
