The main games in the franchise were all fast-paced first person shooters reminiscent of the original Doom with updated visuals. This allows Sam “Serious” Stone to hop between different time periods while fighting the aliens’ extra-terrestrial overlord “Mental”.
One of these races is benevolent and left all kinds of time-travel artefacts and advanced tech on Earth. In Serious Sam, mankind gets caught up in a war between ancient and powerful alien races. The quirky alien invasion shooter franchise was known for being over the top, violent, and unendingly silly. Older gamers may remember the original Serious Sam games from the early 2000's. You would think he would smell the alien that close. They are nothing to fear (in this game, at least) as long as you have a high-powered projectile weapon handy. Despite the Xenomorphs coming in all shapes, sizes, and specialized roles that maximise their killing efficiency, they're pretty dumb. If Colonial Marines is anything to go by, the aliens won't be nearly as much of a threat as their freaky exteriors would suggest. Ticking out your pulse rifle has never felt so good. Colonial Marines features one of the best weapon customization systems I have seen in a long time. While the aliens might be a tad stupid, the game does offer a wide variety of ways to get rid of them. We could go on about the numerous issues the game suffers from, however reviewers and players have covered all that and then some already. The terrifying Xenomorphs still infest the colony, and your small group of marines are sent in to clear them out. The game invites players to return to the setting of the second film, which is often regarded as the best of the series. This particular entry is quite controversial, and I would recommend looking at the newest alien game Alien: Isolation first, however this better fits our theme. Regardless of what critics may say, no list of games about alien invasions would be complete without mentioning the Alien franchise.
