A game that appeared to have dropped off the radar entirely, it's come as a very welcome surprise to see Sega's started to offer some tasters of its upcoming Aliens Vs Predator game.

Now granted, this is only a very small taster, and it seems far more slanted towards the style of the Alien rather than the Predator, but that's no bad thing from where this writer is sitting. And even though there's only a few seconds in the midst of all of this of the game's actual graphics, it's enough to not only confirm that it's definitely on the way, but also gave us a little dose of geeky goosebumps.

It's helped, of course, in no small way by the fact that the earlier Aliens Vs Predator games were among the most tense videogame experiences we've sat through in our lives. To have more of it on the way has thus brought sunshine and smiles into our merry little lives.

Colonial Marines next, please. In the meantime, here's the clip for the game, due in 2010.
