 Alien vs. Predator (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Just like in the original Alien vs. Predator comic book, there is only one human survivor, a woman, who is accompanied by the last Predator who, before he dies, marks her as a warrior, and she is later recognized as such by other Yautja.
Alien vs. Predator (referred to as AvP for short) was first considered when screenwriter Peter Briggs (later to work on Judge Dredd, Freddy vs Jason, and Hellboy) sold his spec screenplay, springboarded from and drastically rewriting the Dark Horse Comic Book, to 20th Century Fox in 1991.
The Aliens and Predators engage in many ferocious battles within the confines of the pyramid while the humans act as little more than bystanders caught in the crossfire (or, in a few cases, as hosts for the Aliens to breed with).

 Aliens versus Predator (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alien vs. Predator (video game) - The console games, ranging from the arcade to SNES versions.
The games themselves are both first person shooters (FPS), but differ from most other FPS in that the player can choose the perspective to play from : Alien, Predator or Human (Colonial Marine or Corporate).
Predators are also somewhat more athletic than humans, can make use of a cloaking device to stalk prey, and have a range of different vision modes to aid them in hunting the other species.

 Alien vs. Predator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The idea for such a cross-over is often thought to have originated from a supposed Xenomorph skull seen as a Predator's trophy in Predator 2, but Dark Horse Comics published their first Alien vs. Predator story in November 1989, a year before the November 1990 release of Predator 2.
Alien vs. Predator (often abbreviated AvP) is a science-fiction/ horror fiction series spanning several forms of media.
The Alien vs. Predator universe currently consists of several computer/video games(AvP2, Predator:Concrete Jungle, and AvP:Extinction), some comics,several books, and a movie.

 Alien Loves Predator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reversing the adversarial relationship depicted in Alien vs. Predator, ALP presents an Alien (named Abe) and a Predator (named Preston) as friends and roommates in current-day New York City.
However, along with the surrealist humor of seeing alien races act just like people, the strip simultaneously presents an observational brand of humor.
The art of ALP is done by juxtaposing photos of real-life action figures into backgrounds also primarily generated from photos.

 GameSpy.com - Review
Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction is a real-time strategy game in which aliens, predators, and colonial marines face off in a to-the-death struggle over the course of three campaigns and 21 missions.
Predators are called down from orbit at a shrine, a mobile base of operations with a self-defense cannon and energy recharging capability.
This would be fine if the aliens then rallied somewhere (no rally points in the game!), but often what happens is, after clearing a battlefield and having potential hosts, you end up with a smattering of corpses and scattered aliens all over the place.

 Alien vs. Predator (2004): Reviews
It would take a true visionary not to borrow from Alien Vs. Predator's predecessors, but Anderson lifts more than most will consider polite, borrowing to the point where some viewers may wonder whether he simply edited in footage from the old movies (or even, at one point, "Jurassic Park").
Between the Predators' dripping their glow-in-the-dark green blood and the Aliens' getting their rubber cement mucous all over everything, this is certainly a very sticky movie, though not, ultimately, a very frightening or commanding one.
AVP threw out any of the logic in the alien mythology and ground it into the floor with absolutely no atmosphere, terrible art direction, and horrible special effects.

 Filmtracks: Alien vs. Predator (Harald Kloser)
Alien vs. Predator: (Harald Kloser) Just about every casual movie-goer would probably agree that both the Alien and Predator franchises had already exhausted their welcome and brought themselves to a natural close several years ago.
The entire score for Alien vs. Predator produces the same response; the score is nothing spectacular, but it offers far more than was expected given the cheesiness of the film's concept.
Kloser does make an interesting distinction between the predators and aliens in his sound effects: the predator makes a metallic slashing sound for the wrist-worn blades it uses in battle and the alien produces a more extended, swishing and scraping sound that imitates its distinctive cry and whipping tail.

 Amazon.co.uk: Alien vs Predator: Extreme Edition (Two Discs) [2004]: DVD
Aliens are not even as frightening as they were in the original films, and to be honest the Predators make up isnt as good either.
I am a massive lover of the ALIEN films and the predator films (and species cause the alien in that was also created by Geiger) but this was really dissapointing...
In AVP the predator actually makes friends with the lead female character and allows her to join in on the hunt, which basicly goes against everything the predator was originaly designed to be.

 Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction Review for PlayStation 2 at GameSpot
Most of the AVP games released to date have been first-person shooters, with a few brawlers thrown in here and there, so it's a bit surprising to see that the newest one, Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction, is actually a real-time strategy game.
Most of the Aliens Versus Predator games let you play as all three of the involved factions--predators, aliens, and colonial marines--and as you'd expect, Extinction follows suit.
The Aliens Versus Predator universe has been a staple of video gaming for a number of years now, and it's not hard to see why.

I bought Aliens Versus Predator from Electronics Boutique at the Victoria Place shopping area (Victoria Station, London) for £34.99.
The Alien gets the most powerful close-up attacks of all three species but you still need to get right up to your opponents to use them; and when you're the Alien your opponents are all armed with projectile weapons.
The Alien is certainly equipped to do this: it's slick-fast, runs up walls and across ceilings, can jump three storeys in one leap, and can see enemies by a species-dependent colour-coded phereomone aura that makes them show up even in pitch-darkness.

 Aliens Versus Predator - GameCritics.com
Playing as a Predator is nowhere near the mental hurdle that playing an Alien is, but shuffling between the trademark visual modes (infra-red being the one most recognizable from the movies), cloaking ability, and precision-zoom sniping is still quite the eye opener.
Much of the success is attributed to the developers, including the concept of three playable characters (human Marines, alien Xenomorphs, or gamely Predators) and fully embracing each species' unique abilities and limitations.
Aliens may be lightning quick and have the remarkable ability to scale walls and drop in on unsuspecting victims, but their attack and endurance are limited.

 Alien vs. Predator’: Audience loses - AT THE MOVIES - MSNBC.com
A prequel to the “Alien” films and a sequel to the “Predator” movies, “Alien vs. Predator” is set in Antarctica, where scientists are scoping out an ancient pyramid discovered below the ice.
The movie is written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, maker of such sci-fi twaddle as “Resident Evil” and “Mortal Kombat.” Like those video-game adaptations, “Alien vs. Predator” plays out like a linear joystick pastime: Kill this creature, move up one level, vanquish that foe, advance to the next round.
In that corner are the clicking, clacking creatures that debuted in 1987’s “Predator,” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a commando whose unit is being stalked by a space hunter seeking human trophies.

And, of course, the alien bar-mitzvah doesn't go as smoothly this time as it has in the past, thanks largely to the presence of a group of human beings sent to study the pyramid.
