Alien [Hominid] Week

by

In celebration of the upcoming film Prometheus, Xbox LIVE is showcasing alien themed games all week, including our very own Alien Hominid HD.

So we’re joining in on the festivities with fun alien-related activities all week. First, follow us as we go back in time―like Will Smith in MIB3―and relive our favorite moments from the development of Alien Hominid to post release events.

In addition to the memories, The Behemoth will be doing contests to bring you several opportunities to score tickets to Prometheus, which is set to release on June 8th in the U.S., win some merchandise by The Behemoth and even enter to get a box set of the Alien Anthology!

In the next few days leading up to the big U.S. premiere of Prometheus, we’ll be bringing some surprises that even Mother can’t predict.

Recently we’ve been tracking Castle Crashers ranking on XBLA based on user reviews. We’ve been very fortunate thanks to our amazing fans for having the top spot for highest player-rated XBLA title, but something that’s been very exciting for us to see lately is that we’re in the Top 5 for the Action & Adventure genre for the entire service! Right now we’re sitting in 4th place in front of some massive titles like Bioshock and Red Dead Redemption. Pretty awesome, no?

Speaking of awesome, Castle Crashers is going on SALE on XBLA! This Friday, April 15th, Castle Crashers will be just 600 chickenwings. We’re celebrating Leonardo Da Vinci’s Birthday! And Tax Day! And the Sinking of the Titanic! Take your pick, and pick up Castle at half off in this one day discount.

In other news, you can check out a podcast with BattleBlock Theater Level Designer Aaron Jungjohann over on Front Towards Gamer.
