Add Alien Hominid HD to your Xbox 360 download queue
Boooo
Yay awsome job for them for having a spot in the deal of week.. Alien Hominid is always fun and hay who ever buys this gets a character in castle crashers whats the chance of that?? awsome characters and awsome games for 400 points so worth it!!
Boo? Why boo? This is an awesome game that many of you need to play. 800 Points or 400 Points all-in-all it is a great deal. Now my cousin can save on his own copy. IF I had to "boo", those dang PDA games are frustrating local or online. If you thought Castle Crashers was easy. . . (big evil grin) Check out some of the achievements.
Awesome. Will buy it today.
That's very tempting. Going to wait and see what this week's XBLA release is first, before deciding.
Awesome.... too bad i bought this way back when... keep them coming though. To all those on the fence, get it.... totally worth it at 800 points
tempting...
Anyone care to fill me in on why this is a good buy?, I tried the demo, and was a bit like meh....
50% off Alien Homonid HD? 400 points???
SOLD! Thank you very much.
I'll get just about anything for 400 points. Pay attention MS.
It's not my type of game, too hard :/ don't like the feel.
I was wishing there 3rd game would be CC2 but if you have seen the teaser trailer seems some sort of co-op platform type game :/
I am going to download the demo again and retest it. If it still awesome ^^, I'll buy it.

I believe the arcade title will be PQ Galactrix. (source: Xbox UK dashboard DOA section, when initially up had every title with release date)
next week Flock AND Dishwasher. Outrun. Lode Runner. (That's the three weeks after, apparently)
Hey Major, are you going to bother posting this weeks Arcade game on here this week (as you promised to do when you announced the promotion) or not?
Or are you going to just use your twitter like you did last week? Not surprising you did it that way last week, as there's only a fraction of people that use that thing - which meant the mention of Uno Rush doubling in price got far less coverage before it launched than it would've done if mentioned on on here.
For the people who don't already know - it's going to be "Puzzle Quest: Galactrix" this week. MS couldn't keep a secret if their jobs depended on it... they posted all the dates on the dashboard feature - then replaced them all with 'Coming Soon' soon after. hehehe
This weeks arcade tittle will most certainly be PQ Galactrix for probably 1.600 MS Points.

Thanks, I totally forgot to add that. People casually would ask how I got that character in Castle Crasher, so it totally slipped my mind while making my previous post. AH's lazer (ie. laser) pistol is awesome once powered up.

Hey, go to newgrounds.com and check out the flash (original and harder) version. If you still do not like it, then this game is not for you. I bought it first on my Nintendo GameCube, now XBLA, I do not play it often as I'd like too, but when I do "It's on like Donkey Kong vs the FBI". I enjoy this game on multi-platforms and can admit I plain out **** at. It is fun and challenging - kind of like Super Mario Bros on NES - but much, much faster. Like Mickeh, it IS a bit hard, it'll make you want to cry at times, but that should make you play harder on your next go.
This is the best deal yet. It´s a pitty I already have it, since launch day. In fact, one of the few games I haven´t even tested the demo.
If you think it´s hard, try learning some of the moves. You can hide in the floor pressing "Y", and you should use plenty of charged shots too (but only if you don´t have a special weapon already, then DON´T charge).
It´s really easier than it seems, but only if you use all the moves of the game. If you stick only to normal shots and jumps, you´ll surely die a lot.
major nelson said on his podcast that dishwasher dead samurai is coming out this week
what genre is this game? ex: space shooter? someone explain please. I'm @ work and am tempted to add this to my queue but have never played it.
I'm looking at pictures in the marketplace and online it still says 800 points. Is there something wrong?
NOOOOOO!!!!!!
I missed the Battlestations Midway deal?!?!
NOOOOO!!!!!
*sob*
AH for 400 points AKA the price it should have been all along. Yeah, okay. I'll bite.
@teh batman (no, I'm not going to bother to do the caps etc.)
Well, that'll be the change-up then. The secret was out, so now they've changed it.... Shame, I was quite looking forward to some Galactrix action, as I've just finished PQ:COTW, not Plague lords tho.
Alien Hominid HD for 400 points, wow those that dont already have it should pick it up. This is truly one of the best XBLArcade action titles you can find out there. To bad I picked it up already.
Now we're starting to see proper deals: 50% price cuts.
am I dreaming or is MS listening to the user base and observing other content management systems like Steam?
Can not say no at this price point, more deals like this one please.
Ewww, no thanks not my type of game.
