'Aliens: The Video Games' Charts The Interactive History Of Everyone's Favourite Xenomorphs
Image: 20th Century Fox As one of cinema's longest-running sci-fi horror franchises, the Alien series has spawned more than its fair share of video games—but the surprising thing is, unlike some other movie crossovers we could mention, the majority of them have been pretty decent. Starting in 1982 on the Atari VCS / 2600, the lineage of Alien video games has hit systems such as the Mega Drive, SNES, PS1, PC, PSP and more—and a new book by acclaimed author and journalist Mike Diver aims to chart that blood-soaked history. Aliens: The Video Games was formally announced back in 2024 and covers both games 'old and new, licensed and unofficial, crossovers, fan projects [and] unreleased titles,' according to the author. It will also feature plenty of interviews. It's #alienday. And Independent Bookstore Day. So here's a thing. Aliens: The Video Games. Games old and new, licensed and unofficial, crossovers, fan projects, unreleased titles. Loads of new interviews covering games from the 1980s to the 2020s. Cover by @ Out in 2026. — Mike Diver (@ 2025-04-26T06:11:17.580Z Whether you're a fan of Alien 3: The Gun, Alien vs Predator or the more recent Alien: Isolation, this will surely be a recommended read for fans of cinema's most enduring xenomorphs. It's being published in 2026 and will be available online and from book retailers, and should serve as the perfect companion tome to Andy Kelly's superb Perfect Organism. The Alien franchise started back in 1979 with Ridley Scott's seminal horror classic. It was followed by an equally-adored sequel in 1986, directed by James Cameron. Since then, we've seen multiple sequels and spin-offs, with the most recent movie being 2024's Alien: Romulus. A TV series, Alien: Earth, will debut on FX on Hulu in 2025.

'More bumps in road ahead' for Giants
Huddersfield Giants director of rugby Andy Kelly says following the struggling club this season is "not for the faint-hearted".Kelly, 64, sent an open message to supporters on the club website, external with the Giants rock-bottom of Super League and without a 23-10 reverse at fellow strugglers Salford was their sixth straight defeat in all competitions for the Giants who were also knocked out of the Challenge Cup."The performance at Salford was below any of the standards we set and, of all our defeats to date in 2025, the most painful," he said."I feel an apology would be a superficial fix but one that, if given, would be sincere. If I believed it would not be necessary again I would gladly give it."What I know is this period of time is not for the faint-hearted and needs courage and fortitude."Kelly said injuries had been a factor in their poor start, but insisted the club would turn their fortunes around and find "top-six consistency"."We are driven to improve the fortunes and future of this club, but it will not be a short-term thing, and yes we will have bumps in the road," he added.
