Then, I thought I had to kill them to get the part I needed, which was not the case, so now I cannot get the no kill trophy.

Please let me know if you still like it by the end! I was dying to play it, but the reviews I read seemed to agree that the gameplay (stealth, running and hiding) grows stale early on in the 16-20 hour campaign. That was my major concern leading up to its release. I got bored with Outlast (similar gameplay) about halfway through, and it was only a 6 hour game. The enemies that started out "scary" were just annoying by the end, as was hiding and having to wait until they decided to wander out of the area.

I was still tempted to buy it due solely to the fact that it was an Alien game given the proper respect and attention, but my comic sub got kind of expensive during the last couple of months. Stupid crossovers and unannounced price hikes...

Anyhoo, I've been in the mood to sit down for my yearly viewing of The Thing as well as its prequel, and suddenly I remembered the game. Anyone else here ever play it? I have it on original Xbox. Never beat it, got to a certain point and completely ran out of ammo before a boss fight, and got totally screwed over by my save point. I'm thinking I'll fire it up again after watching the movies, start over.
