Aliens is a masterclass in building tension. With just a beeping sound and dots on a screen, James Cameron uses a motion sensor to ratchet up the fear before you even lay eyes on a Xenomorph. It's proof that terror works best when our imaginations fill in the gaps, as the uncertainty plays on our minds more than any monster can. This is the focal point of brand new strategy game Xenopurge, which has finally entered Steam Early Access with a sizable discount.
