The game "The Thing" is a game based off the movie "John Carpenter's The Thing" despite this you could easily play the game and probably understand exactly what is going on. In fact almost everything you need to know about the "Thing" is given to you on the first level via notes, computer entry's, etc. In addition the game reveals much more about the aliens than even the original movie does and there are also many more different aliens in the game than in the movie which makes it very exciting and action packed. As a final note the colonel in charge of the mission at the beginning who turns out to be the leader of the conspiracy and cover-up who was infected by the virus himself and survived is played by William B. Davis who also played a leader of another alien conspiracy in The X-Files (Cigarrette Smoking Man).
