very well done. <a href="http://www.foxinteractive.com"><font face="" style="text-decoration: none;">Fox Interactive</font></a> did a great job on this first person shooter. If you have not had the opportunity to try it yet then
download the demos. I personally enjoy playing as the marine. You can also play as an alien or a predator. When you are playing this game you really feel like you are in one of
the movies that the game derived from. I actually found myself peeking around corners feeling scared as if the game were real. This is going to be one of the hottest titles this
year in my opinion. Now if Rogue Spear would just come out.<br>

different to say the least. I have played it and what amazes me is that there is no way to invert the mouse. I was really looking forward to trying this game, but even the gameplay
is terrible. If they could have made it move like Rainbow Six but add the extra movements like crawling and so on it would have been an instant success. They really need to improve
on this title if it is ever going to get money from my wallet. Download it <a href="files/demos/Hidden.zip"><font face="" style="text-decoration: none;">here</font></a>.<br>

Includes a predator map for the 16 original maps, and the 5 eagle watch maps. Everyone will need to have this mod in order to play the predator maps, since it adds new things
to the game. Also includes a mod that makes the elite and veteran co-op maps for the 5 ew missions have predators as terrorists. This does change those maps, probably for single
player as well. I'll have an undo up on my web site in a few days.</i>"<br>
