Alien Breed Evolution (xbla)

Alien Breed Evolution (xbla, pc, psn)

I was a huge fan of the Amiga original and will be all over this.

Arcady alien splatting goodness


//It's partly nostalgia speaking, but I miss the fixed isometric view. I'd like some rpgs and turn based shooters that looked like the shots above.

Never played the amiga one but it looks pretty cool.

Damn, XBLA is getting some pretty awesome classic remakes.

You miss it so much you've apparently completely forgotten what it looks like. i.e. completely not Isometric.

I vaguely remember playing this, but like most Amiga games, I was instantly prejudiced against it by its one fundamental flaw: it wasn't The Settlers, and I'd always much rather be two-mousing that instead.

Eurogamer hands on

Totally. xbla is getting better and better. Trials HD is also excellent.

I remember full well what the original Alien Breed looks like and was referring to the Evolution screen shots. Although that may be incorrect too - I have always lumped games like Planescape etc as Isometric. Sue me

****ing shit this along with Shadow Complex: Metroidvainia Symphony of My Butt are making me really dig the whole "classics getting the current gen treatment while retaining the ****ing awesomeness" treatment.

oh ****, where did they pull out this. good game, especially in co-op mode. just got the itch to go play Tower Assault again.

and the pic seem wrong...the aliens in AB are not just aliens but the Aliens. at least the majority.

Hmm, this looks great. Wonder if it can beat Bionic Commando: Rearmed as the most kick-ass remake ever!!??

Sweet. This game looks to be good mindless fun.

 

[the cow says moo]

At first I thought this was just going to be an aliens version of Zombie Apocalypse, which totally blew, but after watching the trailers it looks ****ing orgasmic. I'll wait until the demo and reviews start rolling out before I decide, though.

This. Castle Crashers and Shadow Complex have been great. I didn't like Bionic Commando: rearmed as much as the full retail Bionic Commando that came out in 2009.
