Alien vs. Predator

From Free net encyclopedia

Image:Alien Vs Predator SNES.gif Alien vs. Predator (often abbreviated AvP) is a science-fiction / horror fiction series spanning several forms of media. The series is a crossover between two popular movie series about extraterrestrial beings: Alien (whose aliens are known as "Xenomorph") and Predator (whose aliens are known as the "Yautja"); in AvP, the two species are in conflict with one another, because of human actions. The idea for such a crossover is often thought to have originated from a Xenomorph skull seen as a Predator's trophy in Predator 2, but Dark Horse Comics published their first Alien vs. Predator story in November 1989, a year before the November 1990 release of Predator 2.

The Alien vs. Predator universe currently consists of several computer/video games (AvP2, Predator:Concrete Jungle, and AvP:Extinction), some comics, several books, and a movie.
