Marek Posted June 2, 2004 Check out this game: http://www.alienhominid.com/ It's sort of like ... Metal Slug ... meets ... something else. It's a console game with 2D cartoon graphics. See the gameplay video. It looks like a lot of fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLacey Posted June 2, 2004 It's a shame it only mentions a console release... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted June 2, 2004 There's a flash demo, and it totally rules. The art direction is great. Essentially, it's crazy-ass alien meets Contra (in that it's a super fast pased side-scrolling shooter that's fucking hard as hell). One hit kills you. I had to play it about a thousand times to beat the demo level, but by the time you manage to do that you're pro. Button mashers need not apply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted June 2, 2004 The game is to be published by 0~3, by the way. (Surely I can't pass an opportunity to link to that boring news report that no one read because the site wasn't online at the time of writing.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GregD Posted June 2, 2004 Metal Slug X was a cool game... This game looks interesting... shame it's only a console release, mind you I don't think many PC gamers would pay for it since: a) It's not an FPS It's not in 3D c) It's not Star Wars (n.b Special thanks to LEC Marketing/sales for that last one) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLacey Posted June 2, 2004 The game is to be published by 0~3, by the way. Please tell me that there isn't actually a company called '0~3'. That is a new low in game company names. Even lower than 'Xplosiv'... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intrepid Homoludens Posted June 2, 2004 Someone already had mentioned this game over at AG a while back. It's fun but difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
