Scarier in the dark and more frighteningly schizophrenic than your ex-girlfriend, this video game companion to John Carpenters classic horror flick will have you killing alien monsters and
making friends? Trapped in a ravaged Antarctic outpost with unstoppable shape shifters, you scour the premises as Blake, a trigger-happy military squad leader. A unique trust meter makes establishing relationships key to survival, since anyone, including you, could be a monster. Incredibly atmospheric (it makes great use of flickering lights, icy landscapes, and foreboding corridors) without skimping on the screams, The Thing is a terrifying battle to the finish that, at least, spares you the teary breakup talk.
