Viewed from the Alien side, this is the franchise's long crossover with the Predator, pitting the xenomorphs against the dreadlocked hunters across games and film. The AvP shooters built three distinct ways to play the war: the Colonial Marine fighting to survive, the Alien hunting as a fast, lethal predator in its own right, and the Predator stalking both. Aliens versus Predator 2 (2001) is the fan favorite, weaving all three species into one story.
The film AVP (2004) carried the matchup to cinemas, trading the Alien series' slow dread for monster-on-monster spectacle. It is a crossover branch spanning game and movie, and an outlet for the Alien's pure-horror creature to share the screen with a very different kind of monster.
The Alien vs. Predator franchise spans 4 games, 1 movies in the CrossBinge catalog.
