It's another week, another set of deals for Xbox Live Gold members, and for fans of co-op, they are especially good deals at that.  First person brawler Zeno Clash is down to a mere 800 points, while twin-stick shooter Alien Breed Evolution will set you back half that at 400 points.  Both together are a decent bit of co-op alien killin' for less than the cost of a couple movie tickets.  There's even a deal on the co-op "Swarm" map pack for Aliens Vs. Predator, at 400 points, so if aliens alone aren't enough, toss a few extraterrestrial, dreadlocked hunters in for good measure.

It’s almost back-to-school, cooler weather time once again. To celebrate with some sales, Xbox Live will be offering a few deals at the very end of August to help you cope. Two games of note will be on this discounted deal. First up is Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition will drop from 1200 ($15) to 800 ($10). Next in line we’ll see Alien Breed Evolution: Episode 1 will drop from 800 ($10) to 400 ($5).

Alien Breed Evolution is the sequel to the classic Amiga title of the same name, minus the Evolution of course. Team 17 is back with a tense Unreal Engine 3 powered top down shooter that's sure to test your wits. Best of all it can be experienced with a friend. Find out our thoughts in our review.

Team 17 just sent out a short press release stating the current pricing of Alien Breed Evolution on Xbox Live is incorrect.  It's currently listed at 1200  and should be 800 .

Team 17 has announced that their episodic remake of Alien Breed is going to be released on Xbox Live Arcade on December 16th.  Alien Breed Evolution is a 2 player co-op title in which players defend themselves against thousands of aliens in twin stick shooter fashion.  The cooperative mode is separate from the main game's story, and sounds similar to the many other survival modes out there.  Called "Battle Mode" it's playable locally and online.

Upcoming top-down Alien co-op title Alien Breed Evolution has been confirmed to be released episodically in three installments, instead of being the first of a separate trilogy as previously believed. It's said that each of these three episodes will take players 5-8 hours to complete, and will be available for download "December-ish." If you're unsure about paying for 3 separate installments of the game, don't fret - the prologue will be available for download and preview for free.

The original Alien Breed came out 16 years ago, with the remake coming sometime in the near future.  A lot has changed in technology and games since 1993 - an era when the 386 was considered a powerful computer.  Team 17 has put out a video for Alien Breed Evolution titled "Then and Now" and it shows just how far the Xbox 360 timed exclusive has come.

Remakes are the new wave of arcade gaming it would seem. Now, Alien Breed Evolution is next in line with an Unreal engine makeover. We've passively kept a hopeful eye on this title, waiting for more details to sink some slimy alien-teeth into.
