Top 10 Badass Video Game Aliens

February 20, 2010 in Top List comments 9

This is a list of the top 10 video game aliens (all virtual), from gaming website PlanetXbox360.com - to celebrate this week's release of Aliens vs. Predator on next-gen consoles.

Mankind has had a fascination with beings from beyond the stars ever since someone first realized that it was possible. They make feature appearances in our television shows, books, films, and even our music. Sometimes they’re benevolent creatures that wish to learn from each other’s culture and murderous experiences. Other times they’re rampant predators with no goal more complex than using us as incubators for their young. Whether they’re coincidentally humanoid or unbelievably hideous, they still captivate our imaginations. With the recent release of Aliens vs. Predator on the Xbox 360 we thought it would be a perfect time to list the top 10 virtual aliens, which show up in video games throughout this generation.

    Damn straight that the Xenomorphs gets the top spot; they're practically iconic when it comes to the alien genre, second only to the stereotypical balloon-headed thin dudes.

    Unfortunately the rest of the list is dominated completely by Mass Effect, Halo and Gears of War. Not even a mention of the Chimera, and those guys where badass.

      Well, given that we're speaking of a race of a PS3 game's alien race, then it wouldn't make much sense to add them in a 360 site, now wouldn't it?

        That's his point; sites like OX360 (or whatever it is, the name eludes me in a storm of other similar sounding sites ) can make articles about general things, like Aliens, without being bias yet still be a largely 360 dedicated site. It's simply a shame that more often than not (a lot more often than not) fan sites are largely controlled by fanboys.

    Predator at 6? They are EASILY the BEST Aliens period imo.

      *bleep* yes. They're ALIENS who are NINJA. The hell else could someone possibly want from an E.T. ?

    Haha, Yoda is in there? I'm not sure what creatures would or wouldn't qualify as "alien" in the Star Wars Universe.

    Predator should of been up a little bit higher IMO.

    The lack of anything Half Life or Metroid on this list saddens me. Heck half of the choices there sadden me, the only thing that I agree with is the Xenomorphs and Predator, although the Pred really got shafted at six.

    Xenomorphs for the win.

    Lets see those other competitors deal with a swarm of them.
