Favorite alien race in a videogame

[ace_of_something]

This alien race has fascinated me since I was 11 years old. I grew up watching the movies, reading the novels, and of course playing the video games.

Spoiler

Their life cycle never made ANY fucking sense to me though.

They require a queen to lay eggs, the eggs then hatch into facehuggers, which then implant an egg into another captive organism, KILLING said organism. None of the Aliens forms remotely suggest they are herbivores, so unless they're scavengers, how do they feed themselves? Their reproductive cycle would exhaust all their possible food sources and drive EVERYONE and EVERYTHING extinct, including their own species.

They're likely an engineered race made to be murder machines. Now that I'm thinking about it at least in the films, I can't recall them eating anything...

An alien is a life-form that originates from a different planet, and the Geth are sort of alive, as they are sapient, or at least after the upgrade. So I would personally call them a life form, just not an organic life form that people normally think of as alive.

These badass mofos right here fly around in the equivalent of a tin can with an airsoft gun taped to the side and they still have the balls to take on the biggest baddies in the galaxy head on. Everyone is tiny babyman compared to the Shofixti.

This.

To love? The Asari.
To fight? The Xenomorphs from the alien movies and games ( I always have nightmares after playing against them).
To be? the Protoss.

I usually make it a point to pick the alien race when I can in a game, it's just so rare that you aren't forced to wear the traditional beefy monkey suit for the right to shoot things that the novelty still hasn't worn off.

OT: Well since Sangheili have been ninja'd from 'neath my unworthy human feet I'll just have to say:

Spoiler

Behold! The almighty Slig, your new master!

Spoiler

Now with even less pants!

And once he's done enslaving the galaxy...

Spoiler

We eats it.

We eats it ALL!

Does alien race include fantasy races?
Because Dwarves are the best.

On the other hand the Asari are pretty great because it doesn't matter if you're ugly, they can't see the difference, they even have sex with Krogan!
That's totally not because I'm ugly or anything, because I'm not, just looking out for my fellow humans... Yeah.

Krogans. Just beasts.

Krogans>blue Space strippers

The Geth from Mass Effect fascinate me. A big part of it to begin with was simply wrapping my head around the nature of their existence. I'm slowly making my way through Mass Effect 3 and I can't wait to find Legion and see how they're doing in this game.

No love for the Drell? For serious? I am saddened.

Spoiler

And to continue to mention neglected species, I'mma throw in the Andorians. Just for fun. I really do find them fascinating. And I played as one (briefly) in Star Trek Online.

Krogans>blue Space strippers

^this and to add something new the Tau.

The only race of 40K that aren´t total assholes to everyone around them.
Plus they are practically future amurais with pulse rifles and still don´t look goofy at least in my opinion.

 

[freakymojo]

WAAAAAGH!

 

[NicotineStainedSoul]

No love for the Batarians? Always intrigued me a species due to their extreme isolation and xenophobia, or at least that of their totalitarian government. Always struck me as quite a tragic species.

 

[GameMaNiAC]

WAAAAAGH! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKKYsqvqtL4&feature=player_detailpage#t=36s]

That's all I have to say about that.

 

[ZehMadScientist]

My favorite alien is none other than...

Spoiler: It counts as an alien right?

Clefairy!

I've always liked Quarians for some reason. And Turians.

Given that Dawn of War was what got me into the 40K universe I'm going to put the Tau into this category, untouchable by the supernatural evil that pervades the universe? Count me in!
