Awesome! I've never played this game before, but it looks like a really fun game, so I will probably be buying it! Thanks for the update!

Sweet! I just sold my Gamecube copy of this when I got my Wii last week in anticipation of this version.

I am confused, is the multiplayer online or not? In the first bullet point it says "16 levels and 7 mini games with online multiplayer support" but then in point 3 it says "two players locally for main game and either 4 offline or online for mini-games".

Is it saying that it will only have online mini-games?

Here is hoping it has online play for the main story mode.

All signs point to offline co-op campaign only.

Still, I'm glad we're getting something this week.

I wish we'd see more games offered at the 400 point price point rather than only the retro games being 800 points (see Geometry Wars popularity).

This is great news. I have never played AH so have been looking forward to it.

A few releases like this in March and everyone will forget about the Feb problems. Although you should still look at some sort of published release schedule.

Offine co-op is a great as well, as me and my son regularly play Assault Heros and Heavy Weapon together we can add this to the list

Lastly I think 800 points of original content is a good price, after all it is only just over £6.

Not sure what to believe now, the page on xbox.com shows cop-op under the offline and online features. Lets hope that co-op is online after all.

Very nice.  Gamepro is indicating that Luxor II is also coming but was unclear if that was this Wed. or just "coming soon".  Can anyone verify if this is coming out tomorrow as well?  It would be great to finally have a week with two releases!

The Live Arcade section on xbox.com has both Alien Hominid and Luxor 2 listed under the "current games."  What's the story?

Thanks for getting this out guys! This is an excellent release and I can personally stand the wait until the next quality XBLA game is released. I don't care if it is a month down the road. Alien Hominid rocks.
