Required playing from the week in video games.

Long before it was a series of terrible movies, "Aliens vs. Predator" was a series of solid video games and comics. The latest game brings the war between the two popular franchises to the world of multiplayer first-person shooters. It does, however, beg the question: Wouldn't they better achieve their goals through teamwork? Shouldn't it be "Aliens and Predators vs. Humanity"?

Also in stores:
-- Hotshot futuristic attorney Miles Edgeworth teams with intrepid detective Dick Gumshoe in the Nintendo DS mystery game "Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth." This series is begging to be adapted into a lost TV series from 1985.
-- "EverQuest II: Sentinel's Fate," the latest expansion pack for the popular RPG game, features new dungeons, quests and more than 2,000 weapons. Did you know that EverQuest added a feature a few years back that allows you to order Pizza Hut from within the game?
-- The Wii collection "Data East Arcade Classics" features old gems, such as "Burger Time," "Street Hoop" and "Bad Dudes." Yes, the game where the president is kidnapped by ninjas. They just don't make 'em like they used to.
