   There is some fierce competition in games these days. With so many huge franchises such as Halo, and Grand Theft Auto stealing all the attention, it�s hard for independent developers to get their titles noticed. The Xbox has raised the bar in terms of graphics, and if your graphics fall short, so might your sales. Game play must be tight and the story must be intriguing. It must be intimidating for a start up company to match the standards set by those before them. The... Read more

   Regardless of any preconceived notions or biases, do not let the cartoon-like presentation fool you; Alien Hominid will be unforgiving and merciless to the unassuming gamer. The level of challenge present will either have you throwing controllers in disgust or frothing at the mouth for more. Hardcore gamers will delight in the old-school flavoring but those looking for a leisurely gameplay experience will be left with a bitter taste in their mouths. This is a definite... Read more

5. Close encounters of the 2D kind.

   Don't let that stop you from checking it out, though. With a great style taken directly from the pages of a deranged art student's sketchbook and fun if occasionally frustrating action to boot, this little alien proves that you don't need a big, fancy ship to invade a home console. Read more
