The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You and your squad face swarming alien hordes in tight, atmospheric corridors, relying on teamwork and pulse rifles to survive.

What players say

Players split on this Aliens shooter. Those who mod it with the TemplarGFX overhaul find a solid co-op experience, but many say the base game has buggy alien AI, low-res textures, and a weak story. Multiplayer is dead and the campaign is short, though the atmosphere and movie connection earn praise.
