Alien Hominid coming to XBLA!

[carocat]

Well, it seems like this is old news. Everyone I've spoken to this so far knows about it already.

Anyway, Alien Hominid will come to Xbox Live Arcade at some point in the next few months. It's looking to be an exact port which I'm not really that bothered about as I sold it a while back.

If you've never heard about Alien Hominid or just want to relieve the first level, have a look at this video (http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/8385). It's fairly bad quality, but shows most of the first level, even though the guy can't get past the boss.

Who's going to get this?

Not me, not a fan, played it when it was free, didnt like it, then I played it on the GBA and still didnt like it.
The thing is you can buy this for the Xbox, probably get it cheaper than the XBLA version. Not BC though I think.

It's not BC and I haven't got my Xbox plugged in atm.

I had it on the Xbox. It is an amazing game and I can't wait to play it again.

Think Metal Slug with an Alien and you're there. I have it on the Xbox so will give this one a miss.

In the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, Alien Hominid has been reviewed! It received a 7.5/10.

Pros
- Unique and compelling visuals.
- Action packed goodness.
- Co-op is excellent.

Cons
- It is over way too soon.
- The mini-games included aren't worth more than a few plays.

Can anyone who has the OXM (I'm thinking this also applies to the UK mag) check if it mentions anything about online Coop? :)

This means it will surely be released in the next few weeks. ^_^

I'm still waiting for paperboy!!!!!

Yeah never played this so will prob check it out....Cel-Shade must be making a comeback:|

Yeah this is no surprise, I'm personally looking forward to Castle Crashers a lot more than Alien Hominid plus it's made by the same development team so you know it's going to be fairly decent. :)
