So I just recently heard there was a AVP RPG. I went looking for it and found 'Aliens: Game Over' and 'Predator: Cazador de Trofoes' but I heard in this one book you could choose to play a Xenomorph, Predator, or Space Marine. I couldn't find it nor was I told the name of this book. If I can't find it, I could always just tailor something to D&D 3.5 or D20 Modern (to make it easier on me).

If you know of that book, could you tell me the name so I could locate a copy? If you know it does not exist (after all, the source of this information could be misinformed), could you let me know?

That's CCG a collectible card game (like 'Magic: The Gathering' put out by WotC or 'RAGE' put out by White Wolf). I'm looking for an RPG like D&D or Pathfinder.

Well both of the games you mentioned are for the d20 modern system so you could just use both of them at the same time.

Nitpick: Colonial Marines. Not Space Marines. They're the United States Colonial Marine Corps.

If you're interested, they're re-releasing the Colonial Marine Technical Manual. I think Amazon releases it in May. Check that sucker out if you want a very good source of information on the history, tactics, and wargear of the USCM!

Are you committed to d20? Depending on what you're looking for, you could go for West End Games d6 system (free download at DriveThruRPG.com (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=468)), the upcoming Only War (http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=201&enmi=Only%20War) expansion for the Dark Heresy line from Fantasy Flight, or the Shadowrun system (4th edition from Catalyst Game Labs (http://www.catalystgamelabs.com/shadowrun/)). The d6 system is the simplest and most versatile if you're looking for some fun, the Dark Heresy Line is brutal if you're looking for the horrors of "They're comin' out of the damn walls, man!", and the Shadowrun system has enough high-tech toys for you and your crew to really go to town. Depends on what you're looking for.

I don't know and couldn't find anything like this. I ran into a fan-made Savage Worlds conversion (http://www.savageheroes.com/conversions/SWAVPv1.3.pdf) that looks fun, but I'd still probably default to AFMBE/Unisystem for that sort of splattery action-horror.
