Welcome to Pixels and Paragraphs, part of the Sound Stone Network. This is the bonus show, where you get to hear me, Darren Hupke, interview some of the raddest writers behind the greatest gaming books. Each episode, you’ll get to hear from a new guest as they discuss their book, talk about their process, share some details from behind the keys, and more! Whether you’re a fan of the book already or want to find something new to read, I hope you’ll find something to enjoy about what we discuss today! This week’s guest is…
Mike Diver, author of the upcoming Aliens: The Video Games.
Aliens: The Video Games is the first complete history of interactive adventures based on the stunning sci-fi universe of the hit movie series and global multimedia franchise. From intense horror experiences pitting players against unkillable monsters to all-action affairs with armed marines facing off against swarms of acid-for-blood xenomorphs, every official video game version of Aliens is featured.
