    Aliens vs Predator 2 - Alien - Chest Burster - YouTube

    yup. Back when we got exclusives that put the consoles to shame, not just in terms of graphics, but story and gameplay variety as well. As much as I still love Aliens: Colonial Marines Multiplayer (when I can find a game), the campaign's story and progression were a ripe fart in the face of fans, and anyone who could appreciate a decent story.

    Ummm, all I saw was something running in circles then attacked what I think was a cat. Why not the humans?

    Ummm, the level started out with a 1st person perspective of an alien eating it's way out of a guy's chest... The baby alien is too small to attack humans, so you have to use stealth and find something to feed on while you mature. And he wasn't just running in circles, he ran through a whole level. Did you even watch it?
