Alien Hominid HD's Live play increases with Castle Crashers' release
Taking a looksy at last week's Xbox Live activity report (courtesy of one Major Nelson), one can spot Castle Crashers taking home the number one most played XBLA game award and even breaking into the overall most played 360 games list at the number seven spot. All of which we fully expected. But one thing that we didn't expect, and found rather interesting, was the appearance of Alien Hominid HD on the Live list.Alien Hominid, The Behemoth's other year old XBLA game, landed in at the number nine spot on the most played XBLA game on Live list, after being absent since its release. An appearance that is probably a direct result of Castle Crashers' release and (possibly) the fact that a certain unlockable yellow alien is in the game.

I noticed that too, was kind of surprised.
He's fun to play as, definitely has a good magic attack.

I downloaded the demo for alien hominid again yesterday.
It was just as hard as I remembered.

Its actually in the top 10 for full versions purchased, so people weren't necessarily going back and playing it, they were buying the game. Good for the Behemoth, they make fun games and are very cool people.

Paladin Games FTW!
Only real gamers have 200 of 200 in AH HD!!!

I bought a retail copy when it launched on GC. So the Alien will be the one thing I won't end up unlocking in Castle Crashers... doesn't seem fair :)

Well it might not seem fair but its not like it goes towards an achievement or anything.
Most people are pretty sure theres another way to unlock the Alien but just haven't found out yet because its most likely much much harder than just owning AH.
