Aliens vs. Predator
It’s not a nice thing, having Steve Hogarty hug your face.
My favourite sound, probably out of all of them, is the ones made by aliens
when they’re being horrifically slaughtered in their second film, Aliens. It is, I think, based on a heavily distorted recording of a trumpeting elephant, sped up to make it absolutely terrifying in a way only the panicked, high-pitched scream of a flailing pachyderm can be.

Battlefield Bad Company 2
A tale of two shooters…
The cliché ‘game of two halves’ normally conjures up images of classic football comebacks, but after staggering through
the glaringly uneven single-player campaign in Bad Company 2, twenty-four hours after spending a whole day solidly playing the superb multiplayer component, there’s hardly a more apt description of DICE’s wannabe CoD-killer. Because, despite the sterling efforts of the men from Stockholm, if you’re coming to this for your lonesome combat kicks, you’re going to be massively, desperately disappointed. This is all about the online game.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
PSP re-imagining of the PSone original gets under your skin…
Silent Hill does two things very well: ambiguous, meaty horrors and plot twists. Like a Turkey Twizzler, really. The former is simple: take the contents of a deli counter and add legs. But it’s the series’ world-rocking revelations that win it major plaudits. There’s brains in all that meat - Silent Hill 2’s conclusion still defines video game twists. And after their fine, if unambitious, PSP prequel Origins, Climax have now added a few more smarts, this time grafted onto a retelling of the first Silent Hill.
