Castle Crashers Dev Announces New Alien Hominid Game

The Behemoth, developers behind indie action games like BattleBlock Theater and Castle Crashers, has announced that it's working on a brand-new entry in the long-dormant Alien Hominid franchise.

Alien Hominid: Invasion is The Behemoth's next project, the studio confirmed with the brief 40-second teaser trailer below. Invasion is not a prequel or a sequel, nor is it a remaster or a remake. The Behemoth, in a developer Q&A, said Invasion is a new game within the Alien Hominid franchise. And yes, Alien Hominid: Invasion is co-op. "Every time you support The Behemoth you support co-op games," the studio said. "We need more of them in the industry, and [we're] just so happy that we can keep making them."

Further details about Invasion are scarce, but The Behemoth confirmed it will make an appearance at PAX East and EGX Rezzed with a playable demo of Invasion available on both show floors. PAX East runs from February 27-March 1 in Boston, while EGX Rezzed takes place between March 26-28 in London.

In a blog post on the studio's official website, The Behemoth confirmed that Alien Hominid: Invasion is currently in development for consoles and PC. A release date or window has yet to be announced.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
