Requiem, an

for the PSP®

Based on the
upcoming
movie from
20th Century

vs. Predator
– Requiem,
and from the
creators of
the
award-winning
original AvP
for PC, the
game pits
two of
cinema’s
most popular
and
terrifying
science
fiction
icons
against each
other.
In the
Aliens vs.
Predator –
Requiem
game,
players take
on the role
of an elite
Predator
carrying an
extensive
arsenal of
exotic
weaponry and
equipment.
Guided by an
unquenchable
thirst for
the hunt,
players have
one mission:
eradicate
all traces
of the
horrifying
Alien
outbreak on
Earth.
Players will
have access
to all the
Predator‘s
advanced
technologies
via his
wrist
computer,
including
Pred-tech/thermal
vision modes
and cloaking
– to track,
stalk and
annihilate
both human
and Alien
threats.
With a co-op
multiplayer
mode,
players will
be able to
team up with
a friend
wirelessly
to play as
Predator
comrades,
attempting
to withstand
hordes of
attacking
Aliens.
“The Aliens

promises to
provide a

and we are
