[El-Diablo]

yes of course again with the castle crashers! it was supposed to be out in Feb, i don't think that's going to happen.

[Guest]

Do we have a release today?

[MEMO.INC]

Alien Hominid is out, just finished downloading, great game :D:D

[PL_ Veteran]

Added Alien Hominid HD

[+StevoFC MVC]

Alien Hominid is out, just finished downloading, great game :D:D

it looks cool and all, but it is basically metal slug with modern hd graphics.

If i want to play metal slug i'll just get out my anthology...no reason for me to pay for this game eventhough it is fun.

[NeoTrunks]

^^ I thought the same about the Metal Slug connection.... shame there is no multiplayer.

[neoadorable]

alien homind...cool name, not sure about the game. maybe it would have been better if we got you castle crashers instead, eh El Diablo? when did that game even come out? i can't remember.

[LightIdea]

One could only hope. I NEED WORMS!

Uhhh...... :rofl: :laugh:

[Pheee]

Game for Next Week

Worms!

:D

[neoadorable]

oh no, i need a coin op classic.

and as for Alien Hominid, decided against it. not paying ten bucks for yet another PC hand-me-down, sorry.

[NoLiMiT06]

I think that Alien Hominid HD is a pretty sweet game. Downloaded it tonight and I really like kicking some "Men In Black" a$$. Bitting heads off slicing them with a sword+Gore=Fun Time :)

[stanley porkchop]

Alien Hominid is in my top three XBLA games.

Also, it might be worth noting that I have every single XBLA game, so my opinion is totally valid :p

[neoadorable]

it's a PC games...i think we should support more 360-exclusive titles for Arcade, if not retail.

[stanley porkchop]

What you get on the Marketplace is a far, far better game than the flash version you can play online.

It's pretty much equivalent to the retail game released in '05, with a few aesthetic differences.

[neoadorable]

ragnarok, that's even worse now you told me it was retail on the PC two years ago. either give me really old stuff that i'm excited to relive, or originals. recent retreads are dubious at best.

[Ayepecks]

I could not disagree more.

I don't want really old crap like Frogger and Joust. I want new stuff, like Alien Hominid, Worms, etc. Originals like Small Arms and Assault heroes are fine too, but they better be well-produced.

[neoadorable]

well to each their own for sure but to my logic paying ten bucks for something that's not an exclusive, can basically be had for free, and doesn't promote the 360 is ill-advised. there are exceptions, i think i maxed out my quota with Zuma.

but this is all personal, as i said.

[cjb1118]

Worms is up now. Size is 42.29MB and costs 800 points.

[deepfriedmario]

[jokeripa]

[sambrentnall]

[+StevoFC MVC]

isn't every singe game released as a trial version?

[Mr_Edwardo]

Yes it is, I think that's a Microsoft requirement.

[FreqFace]

?8.99

Erm.. no, it's cheaper than that... ?6.50 to be exact. Where did you get ?8.99?

And it'd be even cheaper if you bought your points card from an online retailer (ie. play.com, amazon.co.uk), as opposed to through the 360 dash.
