It looks like pure distilled awesome to me. Time for an Ordos Xenos declaration Exterminatus.

I particularly like making Burke Corporate Scum.

Never played the game, but I like where you're going with it. Word to the wise, though - don't try to shoehorn the characters into the same ending as the movie. Ripley will probably die, but at least Burke will too. And Bishop is gonna either be the most valuable person in the game, or the quickest to die.

Where's Newt in all of this? As you can tell from my avatar, I'm a big fan of anything "newty".
