Alien Hominid HD (Xbox 360) 0
Alien Hominid HD is a dressed-up port of the unforgivingly hard cult favorite flash game, which also made its rounds on last generation consoles. It features a quirky art style, and great sense of humor that’ll keep you coming back for more.The game, made famous by Newgrounds is a throwback to the side scrolling shooters that many of us grew up with. There’s really not too much there for depth, but it eventually all equates to simple, stupid fun.In Alien Hominid, you play as an alien who crash l...

A hilarious 2D shooter packed with fun gameplay. 0
I wasn't expecting much from Alien Hominid. I have played countless side-scrolling shooters during my years as a gamer, and didn't expect this title to best one of my favorites, Metal Slug. Even though I wasn't an arcade enthusiast by any means, I used to love playing Metal Slug games at the arcade. Despite the fun I had with these games, their premise eventually began to wear thin. I didn't know if a 2D shooter could ever rekindle my love for the genre, but Alien Hominid HD ...
