Movies, videos, music, TV shows, ummm… media
It was inevitable that once I saw a board game based on the Aliens franchise, which at first glance appeared to be like my beloved game Space Hulk, I was going to own it. I could go on all day about how the movie and the whole franchise has stuck with me all these years, and likely I will do so later.
