FIVE To Play Rebellion’s games cover all sorts of genres…

ALIEN vs. PREDATOR

(jaguar) This Jaguar killer app put Rebellion on the map, and for years it was the definitive game set in the Alien universe. Thanks to the choice of characters (Alien, Predator or Marine) – each with their own objectives – and the tense atmosphere generated this is a game to keep coming back to.

BATTLEZONE

(vr)

A clever use of a now-old IP, this was an early hit in the new wave of virtual reality games. Classic Mode reimagined the glowing green vectors of the original, and there was a huge amount of new content in solo and co-op modes. It goes without saying that placing you directly in the cockpit greatly enhances immersion.

SNIPER ELITE

(PC)

The series brought its own take on the FPS genre, combining stealth and precision. Look beyond the hype and blood surrounding the game’s signature killcam and you’ll find a surprising amount of depth – there’s usually more than one way to complete a mission, although going in all guns blazing will usually end in your gory death.

ROGUE TROOPER REDUX

(VARIOUS) Combining the ‘Nu Earth’ setting of the comics with some clever tactical options (spray mines, create a holographic decoy or set up sentry guns), this was a good alternative to certain other big-name cover shooters. And the brand-new HD remaster makes it look better than ever.

EVIL GENIUS

(PC)

This plays out like Dungeon Keeper crossed with James Bond with heaps of humour. Evil Genius sees players constructing a typical Bond-villain-like hidden lair (with traps to stop any pesky invading spies) and carrying out acts of infamy around the world.

Rebellion is now currently hard at work on a PC sequel.
