Alien Hominid was a run-and-gun Adobe Flash game originally released in 2002 via influential website Newgrounds. It then got a vastly improved HD release on various consoles between 2003 and 2007.
That HD re-release is now being re-released, and this time it’s heading back to PC. It’ll have upgraded graphics and weekly and monthly leaderboards when it arrives sometime this year, alongside a sequel.

Alien Hominid HDcan be played solo or in two-player local co-op, with three difficulty options, and half a dozen mini-games. All of which makes it seem unchanged from the mid-’00s console release, but now it’son Steam.
Invasion, which will also bereleased on Steam, has four-player local or online co-op, and it looks like it has a lot more variety in its running and gunning. There was a demo available during Steam’s Next Fest last month, but I missed it.
If you don’t want to wait for the Steam re-release and don’t have your Xbox 360 handy, you can still play the original version of Alien Hominidvia Newgrounds, with the magic of Flash emulation.
