Christ some of you people are stupid. Alien Hominid was NEVER available for free anywhere. Yes, you can play the original flash game demo, but there's no comparison between the two. Please download and play the xbla demo, then play the flash demo and try to tell me they are the same.

I love shooters like this. It's a bit mor fast paced than Metal Slug but the idea is the same. Just shoot everything :)

Finally, a title! Would have thought something with this much stuff in there would exceed that size limit they have too. Glad to see a tough side-scrolling game appear now, been waiting for something like this for a while (not just on the Arcade either).

So what not everyone likes it, if you don't, you don't *Shrugs* no need to complain that it sucks or something, after all, that's just an opinion.

My apologies to The Laughin Man. Apparently it did come out on Xbox v1. Just not the US.

I'm definitely PRO AH! It's fantastic fun. I thought so, on Xbox, and now I don't even have to use a disc to play, plus, I can get more content later on via DLC, and I can actually SEE the enemy shots to have a fair go at dodging them! I, too, was positively surprised by the 800 MSP price point. I bought the game almost as soon as it was released. In terms of what I'm most looking forward to, of what's been announced for Arcade so far...Jetpac Refuelled (oops...Oh, yeah, that one HASN'T in fact been announced, lol! :P ) definitely Castlevania SOTN and Boom Boom Rocket.

Would like to see: Road Rash 2/3, and Splatterhouse 2+, Mutant League Football, a traditional Bomberman, with Nights into Dreams (xmas as DLC) being a strong, but outside hope. :)

I'm enjoying the game..well worth the 800 for me. Hey Major, I'll bet you a PS3 you can't get all 12 achievements, lol.

"If the PS2/Cube/XB1 versions ran badly too then that simply shows that Beheamoth are terrible engineers. I mean come on, can you imagine a developer like Treasure not being able to get this type of game in 60fps?"

shows how little you know about software development, you don't like the game..fine. but don't start expousing your knowledge of how the game was developed. Maybe you need to read the AH forums to realize the tricks the developers had to get this game running flawlessly in true HD and under 60MB.

I swear, Major needs to lock down this message base, the IQ in here drops daily.

"Are you serious? Just because its 2d and side-scrolling doesn't mean its not system-intensive. This game had a TON of slowdown on the PS2 and GC and even the original XBox, this is by far the best version of this excellent game."

The MegaDrive/Genesis ran Gunstar Heroes at 60fps with far more going on than Alien Homonid. It's a 2D game, it's just moving around a few flat images! This should be able to run a hundreds of frames per second and be locked to a completely solid 60fps on screen.

If the PS2/Cube/XB1 versions ran badly too then that simply shows that Beheamoth are terrible engineers. I mean come on, can you imagine a developer like Treasure not being able to get this type of game in 60fps?

Finally, compelling content that got me excited about Live Arcade in the first place.

No proper online co-op? No buy for me. LAME, cause the demo is fun and the art style is cool, but I won't get $10 out of it without co-op.

P.S. Where is multichat?
