Plot
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is a video game exclusively for the PlayStation Portable, developed by Rebellion Developments and published by Sierra Entertainment in November 2007 in North America and Europe, and December 2007 in Australia. It is an entry in the Alien vs. Predator franchise, an amalgamation of the Alien and Predator franchises. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is a tie-in to the film of the same title which was released shortly after the game.
The game's plot is loosely based on the film's and players take the role of the film's primary Predator. After the events of the first film in the franchise, the Predator has been charged by his society to hunt down and destroy any trace of Alien activity taking place in a small American town, to avoid detection by humanity. The game takes place in several areas in and around 'Gunnison', Colorado.
Gameplay
Aliens have begun terrorizing the local populace, and the Predator's mission is to destroy the Aliens and remove any trace of their activity. In addition to destroying Aliens, a Predator must eradicate other traces of their presence, including facehugger husks and any part of the spacecrafts. Aliens, husks, humans, and other potential targets are all represented by icons on a heads-up display, a Predator can "lock on" to opponents using a first-person view to target them with his ranged weapons. A system of "honor points" are awarded to players for actions considered honorable for Predators. For instance, "tagging" an enemy in first-person mode before killing it adds points, while killing humans reduces points. Honor points are used at the end of each mission to upgrade a Predator's weapons and equipment.

Reception
