    Alien Hominid may be the best old-school action game in years. Read more

    • Old-school shooting mayhem, Two-player mode and PDA games stretch out the action, Budget priced, but full quality
    • A bit short, as expected in this genre, Enemy shots don’t stand out enough, Short music loops

    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. 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. Read more

    Alien Hominid is one hell of a package for only $30. This Cinderella story definitely sets ‎up for a happy ending; I just hope that it sells well enough not to spoil it, because the end ‎product is something that should be experienced by anyone who enjoys side scrolling ‎shooters. Read more

    Alien Hominid is short and sweet, and worth the price tag. Gamers looking for new challenges would look Alien Hominid, while younger gamers or novice gamers may find the difficulty overwhelming. Read more
