If you want to take a break from all those gunfights and noobs throwing obscenities at each other in online FPS multiplayer games, but still want a tough and challenging video game, then you may have already lined-up to purchase the Alien: Isolation video game. A total opposite of the first person shooter game, Alien: Isolation is a horror survival game. It is really a challenging game, and best of all, it's scary.

In this video game, which is about Amanda investigating the disappearance of Ripley, her mother, instead of you being the hunter, you are hunted by the Alien using sight, sound and smell. There will be many frustrating situations and it will take a lot of intelligence and cunning to survive in the game. The Alien is an intelligent creature and will be always be learning so one has to be a step ahead to avoid seeing the tail the alien going through your stomach or the head darting at you.

You can use weapons, but these will be effective only against  humans going against you and the working droids. The Alien cannot be killed by the weapons, it can only be scared with weapons and then will come back to resume the hunt. If you are expecting a heads up display showing information in order to survive like in other video games, you're in a for a disappointment. There's no HUD for you to use and you have to collect information through the inventor accumulated. The most important device that you will have on you will be the Motion Tracker so always keep it up.

So what does have a player have to do in order to survive this game? It is really a thrilling and scary cat and mouse game as one has to hide, duck, crouch, peek and sprint in order to avoid the Alien (there is only one Alien in the game). The more vigorous movements a player does moving from one objective to another, the more noise is generated and the likelihood of the Alien hot on the trail.

Alien: Isolation is a Single Player game, but for those who want to pit their scores in challenges against other players, there will be a "Survival Mode"  that will pit your time, skills and show who are at the top of Leaderboard.

Alien: Isolation is slated to be released on the 7th of October 2014. It can be played on Windows PCs and consoles such as the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4,  Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
