As scary as Ridley Scott's chest-bursting classic, EA's sci-fi horror series has always taxed trigger fingers and fragile psyches in equal measure. The nerve-fraying tradition continues with a fresh adventure set on an arctic planet that's as chilling as it is chilly and a new option to craft Necromorph-wasting weaponry. Players are welcome to brave the cold alone, but those preferring to share the frigid frights with a friend can spill extraterrestrial entrails side-by-side in campaign co-op. (360, PS3, PC)
