What a pain in the ass this site is. First the site was not working.
Now it is again but I could not figure out how to get the key. When I
finally did figure it out, they say they are out of stock for keys.
Agreed; the bother of having to go to another site and register first
isn't worth the reward (especially since I already have the games on
GOG). Plus, the sheer blatantness of how this is all just to harvest
more user information (must sign up for newsletter) is annoying. They
need to be a bit less obvious about it.
I don't even care about this stupid franchise.
I'm a fan of the Aliens franchise but - unlike many - I actually
didn't enjoy the first AvP game very much. It came out in the early
era of 3D games, and its models are blocky and terrible and - although
the early game has some good atmosphere - it becomes very tedious soon
after, with lots of cheap enemies. AVP2 - made by Monolith - was a far
more enjoyable game thanks to its stronger narrative.
(but Isolation remains the king of the Aliens video game franchise).
