cubed

i’m definately buying a gamecube now that i have experienced the insanity that is alien hominid.

take a really cool flash game. add a console developer looking for innovations. let the flash guy require in the deal that there be no digital graphics, the entire game be hand-drawn by him.

yeah.

you’re an alien who has crashed and must fight the fbi to survive. power-ups come to you from a wierd fat kid. gameplay is pretty much contra. two players and everything.

the freaky mini-games you play on the alien’s pda, somewhat like the ‘paddle war’ you played on commander keen’s watch, are almost more fun than the ‘real’ game.

add this to the already large number of titles i like for the cube and i’m pretty much sold.

oh yeah, and there’s toys.

for those who have played it, the artist worked on whacked, he did some/all of the awesome flash commercials during that game.
