Alien Hominid owners get alien in Castle Crashers

Guess who's back? Yes, you guessed correctly and on your first try, it's that adorable yellow alien from The Behemoth's Alien Hominid HD and we just learned that he'll be making an appearance in the August 27th release of Castle Crashers. As a playable character at that. Developer The Behemoth confirmed that the alien would be insta-unlocked as a playable character in Castle Crashers for those who already purchased the XBLA release of Alien Hominid HD, but can still be earned by those who don't own the game. Also, per The Behemoth's graphic above (which we totally ninja-stole), there will be a free Castle Crashers theme and gamer pictures come launch week. Big w00tz to that!

You guys have really gotten me interested in this game (one more thing to the growing must buy list). Though the ninja with the coffee mug pretty much sealed it for me.

Me too, I wish the bloggers can get commission for our purchases.

For $130 they could release just the game and a cheap knock off of the Lancer and still make buck. Instead you'll get a pocket knife sized Lancer at best and a bunch of the same old "making of Gears" crap along with a tin case that is so lame. I for one just want the game.

*whispers to Horn - dude wrong article*

Three cheers to the revival of one of the best and most greatly missed genres in gaming!

Free goodies too, shweet.

Sweet, I'm an owner of Alien Hominid!

Is this game actually going to be any good? It's been hyped no end this site and I have no idea why. I'll check out the demo when it's released, but I don't get all the hysteria..

Because in life, there always has to be "that one guy"

Well, people have played the game at various shows and I've heard absolutely nothing negative about it. It doesn't seem to reinvent the wheel, but it does seem to be a lot of fun and does what it sets out to do very well... Much like Alien Hominid did.
