Alien Isolation

Alien Isolation was voted as the scariest game at this years E3 gaming convention. And because i wanted to play a horror game, I decided to actually purchase this game this weekend.

SPOILERS
The game is based on the classic horror movie Aliens. You play as the main character Ripley whose mother went missing in space 15 years ago to the time the game is based on. Ripley decided to go to space on a mission just for personal reasons to see what happened to her mother. You start on the ship called the Torrens and you go to a ship Sovastelink  through space walking with 2 other members of your crew and a blast happens which lands yourself alone and without communication on the empty isolated Sovastelink ship. My first hour playing the game was basically trying to find the communications to signal the Torrens to get you the hell out of the ship you were forced to get on to from a blast. This is tricky because something went horribly wrong on the isolated ship causing few survivors to kill you on sight for fear of their lives. This is because there is a monster on the ship killing everyone out one by one, therefore the people that you run into are just trying to survive like you, but will kill you because of a lack of resource.
To amp up the thrill, as a gamer, I decided to wait till midnight with all the lights off, all alone at home to play the game with sound on loud. While I do admit that the game lacks a bit in a sense of directions, or I am just really bad at directions, it does take a while to figure out where to go and find certain objects and puzzles to help you advance. The thing that keeps you on edge is the noises on the ship because it is kind of like how one is home alone and the house creaks scary noises, but in the game its the ship that makes noises.
So far i am enjoying the game but stopped around 3am because i reached the part where you are in the area the Alien resides and you have to try to sneak back out. I also stopped the game because I died... I was trying to sneak across to some chamber for a radio thing, but turns out the Alien crept up behind be and impaled me and covered my face with its hands, and to be honest, this did scare the hell out of me because it was all quiet then BAM i was dead.

I look forward to playing the game again tonight. BUT, WHY LET THE PLAYER FIND A GUN IF THE GUN IS USELESS AGAINST THE ALIEN!! .... it did not die.
