Video games provide the perfect conceptual testing ground for what alien technology could conceivably be. It has the opportunity to offer gamers extremely powerful and devastatingly destructive technology to do with as they see fit. More than just an exciting thought experiment, these games can allow us to live out our power fantasies and imagine the tantalizingly exciting possibilities of the distant future. Here are some of gaming’s coolest gadgets, weapons, and tech.

XCOM 2’s mechanized Andromedons actually house an organic life form within their airtight battlesuits and are immune to all sorts of elemental damage. The suit has a devastating plasma cannon and can pummel straight through walls in an attempt to take you out. Once the invading alien pilot is killed, the fight isn’t over.

In a second attack phase, the suit itself will gain sentience and charge at you with deadly melee attacks, leaving a trail of a nasty poisonous substance in its wake. Also, if you opt not to kill the metallic beast and mind control it instead, it becomes a very powerful ally on the battlefield, causing quite a nuisance to their original alien comrades.

In Predator: Hunting Grounds, you have the chance to play as Predator in 1v4 multiplayer against a squad of puny human soldiers. As always, the Predator has a variety of death-dealing tricks up its sleeve that all originated from another world.
