Alien Hominid

Video Games! We’ve all played them. They feature oversized creatures amped up on Red Bull, bouncing erratically in multi platform worlds or an  exhilarating car chase in a world loaded with street crime, armed with an array of assault weapons, too eager to do some serious damage. Or do you prefer the lawless Wild West where you play a hero capturing outlaws in an expansive world with convoluted plots?  Almost all tof today’s games feature rendered 3d graphics.  If at times you wish for something simpler, something old school, and yes 2D, then you will appreciate what the Behemoth has done for the gaming world. They are the creator of Alien Hominid, an action packed 2d side scroller game with all the artwork completely hand-drawn and hand animated.  Much in the vain of Metal Slug, ths is a game for the truly old school and hard core. And did I mention it still contains the high energy and killer action you expect from a console game? By now you’re asking why VP is writing about a console game? Well, the toys of course!!! At SDCC 2005, I came across the Alien Hominid toys. The people at The Behemoth brought “life” to the game characters with the offering of these vinyl toys. I especially took a liking to “Boss”, there is a certain gentle quality to him even with his hefty “boxing gloves”.  Currently, Alien Hominid  is available  as a bundle  which includes the game and a set of the toys for $39.99, that’s a $5 savings. If you are not in for the game, the toys are available for $25.99. So hurry, what are you waiting for…check out their website for more info!!
