Aliens vs. Predator (PS3)
Total time spent playing: about 12 hours

Recommendation: Rent
AvP was a throwback to the original PC/Mac game. It includes three single player campaigns (Aliens, Marines, Predators) Each class has their own perks. Aliens have the ability to crawl on the walls and ceilings of levels. Marines have an array of weaponry including the classic M41-A Pulse Rifle. The Predator has the ability to turn invisible. The single-player campaign is the only worthwhile part of this game. The multi-player is severely flawed. The flaws include badly designed match-making as well as very bad class balancing. Aliens is the strongest class, able to kill any other player with two or three hits. The Marine is second strongest with high-speed attacks. The Predator is the weakest due to the fact that you have to track down his weapons, and you end up dying way before that. All in all it is a good single-player game, but lacks otherwise, so rent and return.
