Reminder: Alien Hominid HD for 400 MS points this week

The game is still way to hard for my liking.

I wasn't a big fan. I haven't been a big fan of many of the other recent Arcade releases. Count me among the handful who really didn't think Peggle was all that. And I really didn't find Braid that interesting. It seems that a lot of the latest in Arcade releases are, "Let's see how DIFFERENT we can be, and thus we'll be new and hot." Seriously, anyone still playing The Maw?

And it doesn't help that 3 years after the 360 came out, XBLA games released at the launch of the 360 are still the same price. Why aren't there more "XBLA classics" that are dropped 25% permanently?

Rant over...

Is it just me or the PDA game in Alien Hominid's demo was more fun than the main title?

On Major Nelson's podcast last night, it was also announced that Dishwasher: Dead Samurai is released this week. Haven't seen it on the news sites yet.

I think the arcade games are pretty much novelty games that wear off quick, which is why I don't purchase any arcade titles.

It was ok. I think this price is much better than it is otherwise. I read that owning this unlocks the alien in Castle Crashers. Is it worth at least for that?

I just died on level 1-2, this game is sick
