Alien Hominid's XBL activity up after Castle Crashers' release

I bought Alien Hominid the day after playing Castle Crashers.

Heh, I remember way back when this first hit Newgrounds.

I

I WANT ZERTOSS' FULL AVATAR PIC!
XD

I had Alien Hominid since Day One owning a 360. Played it on a friends' 360, then bought it for PS2. It's Contra hard though, which isn't really a bad thing.

Guys it's not the Live activity when it comes to Arcade games. That chart is based on Full versions of XBLA games purchased. So it wasn't the live activity that went up for alien hominid, it was sales. Castle crashers drove sales for alien hominid. Probably because the alien is a playable character in castle crashers if you unlock one achievement in alien hominid.

Loooooong title name =o

good for the behemoth.. maybe they can hire a 3rd guy.

I had some friends over and they, my girlfriend, and I got into quite a bit of Castle Crashers. After a long, long time I switched gears and brought them over to play PDA Games on Alien Hominid. Would've played the single player if it had 4-player co-op. But that'd be a lot to pay attention to.

Whats the deal with both these games?, played them both after all the hype, and can't see anything about them that would make them a worthwhile purchase..........

Things like this seem to go over my head, almost like Goldenaxe et al but with spanky cel graphics......

Well I say GOOD! The more money and attention few indie guys get making risky titles the better. I mean think about trying to sell a 2D, scrolling beat-em-up to publishers today. The fact it's better then a certain title that's been festering for 10 years is icing on a partially sweet cake.

My only worry is that the will get TOO much attention, and fall under the gaze of the likes of EA form the top of their twisted tower of evil.

PS: The comment system is even worse then it was before, which I didn't think was possible. Not only doesn't it update straight away, sometimes it shits your message into the ether, never to be seen again. You can't tell that this has happened, because it takes it's damn time updating the page. So do you risk losing the post, or double posting and looking like a tit? Thanks for making my life interesting joystiq!

Makes sense, Castle Crashers is a lot of fun. I've been neglecting it though with Tales out.

That's cute but when is there going to be a patch for CC,the game crashes very often online.

Also they should improve All you can glork since it is a really painful minigame.
