The Alien series has a long, complex history with the video game industry. From the 2600 Pac-Man clone days to the hyperrealism of Alien: Isolation, fans of the series have been battling (/hiding from) xenomorphs for nearly five decades.

Mike Diver's upcoming book, Aliens: The Video Games, is a sweeping journey through Alien gaming history. With original research and interviews—and no small helping of nostalgia—the book is a blast to read.

On today's episode, Mike sits down with Patrick, Holden, and Mario to talk the book, the games, the films, and the future.
