I'll say this for AVP: They tried. They knew it wasn't Shakespeare, they didn't have pretensions of being anything other than a fun video game romp, and they tried to make it as good as they could under those circumstances... That's the difference between AVP and AVPR; AVP was a failure, yes, but at least it had ideas. Reqium was just... "duh, what if the predalen barfs babys into the ladys tummy and dey eat the other babys huh duh."
