Alien: Isolation – the terror returns as the long-awaited sequel to the highly acclaimed horror video game is finally announced. Just as a reader had mentioned the original game being one of the scariest ever, the release of a new installment is revealed. This comes as a surprise, considering the first game was not a big hit and was not cheaply made either.
Despite its lack of success, the sequel has fans wondering what direction it will take. Will it follow the action-packed Aliens or will it maintain the horror elements of Alien? Perhaps a combination of both is the key. However, the most crucial aspect to focus on would be the story. The first game was criticized for its forgettable plot and characters, which could be addressed in the sequel to make it the definitive Alien game.
In other gaming news, a reader shares their prediction for the next Mario Kart game. They believe it will be the last traditional installment and will instead offer a Mario Kart Maker feature, allowing players to create and share their own tracks. This could potentially provide endless content for years to come.
Moving on, a reader inquires about the review for Metaphor: ReFantazio and expresses their reliance on GameCentral for a balanced opinion. The game has received high scores from other sources, but they are curious to see if our review will align with their prediction of an 8 out of 10. Our review is now live, and we thank them for their support.
On a different note, another reader recommends Tactical Breach Wizards, a British-made game with excellent dialogue and gameplay similar to Into The Breach and Invisible, Inc. However, they express their disappointment in not being able to play the highly anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake on Xbox, as it seems to be exclusive to PlayStation. This has made them question the point of owning an Xbox if they cannot access certain games.
In conclusion, the gaming world is buzzing with new releases, announcements, and predictions, and GameCentral is here to provide unbiased reviews and discussions. Thank you to all our readers for your support and contributions. Keep the emails coming and join in on the discussions.

It seems like the magic of our inbox has struck again! Just days after a reader proclaimed Alien: Isolation as one of the scariest video games ever, a sequel has been announced! This came as a surprise to many, especially since it has been quite some time since the first game was released. And let's be honest, it wasn't a huge hit and definitely didn't seem like a cheap game either.
But now, with a sequel in the works, what can we expect? To me, it seems like the obvious route would be to make it more like Aliens than Alien. However, that might take away from the scare factor. On the other hand, the first Aliens Vs. Predator game was pretty scary, so maybe they can achieve the same with this sequel? Perhaps they can incorporate some shooting elements, but keep it as a smaller part of the game.
In my opinion, the most important aspect they need to work on is the story. Many players complained that the game was too long, but that wouldn't have been an issue if the plot and characters were more memorable. Unfortunately, they were almost forgettable. I can easily name every character in Alien and most of the marines in Aliens, but I can't even remember Ripley's daughter's name in the game, let alone anyone else.
But these are solvable problems that don't require a lot of money. If they can sort that out, after all these years, this could be the definitive Alien game.
Moving on to a different topic, I have a feeling that the next Mario Kart game will be the last traditional one we see. My prediction is that Mario Kart 10 will be the Mario Kart Maker we've all been dreaming of. I can already picture it having a few tracks made by Nintendo to get us started. The DLC will most likely include new drivers, karts, and maybe pieces of track or background. And the best part? Players will be able to publish their self-made tracks for others to race on, providing endless content for years to come.
On a separate note, we apologize for the slight delay in our review for Metaphor: ReFantazio. It's a long game and we weren't quite ready for the embargo, but our review is now live. Keep sending in your comments and opinions to our designated email address.
Speaking of game reviews, one reader highly recommends Tactical Breach Wizards on the PC. They mention that it's from a British team, which is evident in the excellent dialogue. The gameplay is similar to other popular games like Into The Breach or Invisible, Inc., where you control a small team in various scenarios that follow a storyline. And at a reasonable price of £15 on Steam, there's plenty of content to keep you entertained.
Lastly, we have a reader who regrets switching from PlayStation to Xbox this generation. They were looking forward to playing the Silent Hill 2 remake, but unfortunately, it's not available on Xbox. This news came as a surprise and has left the reader feeling frustrated. They wonder what the point of owning an Xbox is when they can't even play certain games.
