Sega made me very happy today by announcing that they are working on a new Aliens vs. Predators game that will hit stores in early 2010.  The game is being developed by Rebellion, the same folks who did such a great job with the license almost a decade ago.  There aren't a lot of details but the original game had three separate campaigns allowing you to play as an Alien, Predator, and Human.  If they did something like that and added co-op gameplay then I would be a very happy camper.  Even a Left 4 Dead type survival mode where a group of people played re-spawning aliens against a group of humans/predators would be a lot of fun.  What would you like to see in the game?  Leave your thoughts in the comments.
