Been feeling the urge to squash aliens in co-op lately? From now until June 2nd, Xbox 360 Deals with Gold is running a sale that may just help you satisfy that urge. The list of games includes Star Trek, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Alien Hominid HD, Earth Defense Force 2025, Aliens vs. Predator, Alien Breed Evolution (Episode 1), Alien Breed 2: Assault, and Alien Breed 3: Descent.

Three months after being re-released on the Xbox Live Arcade, Alien Breed 2: Assault is being re-re-released on the PlayStation Network. This Tuesday - December 07th - the game will be available for two player local and online co-op.

Luckily for Team 17, aliens’ have a regular breeding programme. Well they certainly have enough children to populate a second episode of the Alien Breed series within the space of a year. Are there enough new features in Alien Breed 2: Assault to justify buying a follow up so quickly?

How important is DLC to you, really? Are you one of the types of gamers that's content with just playing part of a game, then moving on to something else? If so, the concept of stand-alone DLC may interest you considerably. I ask: Will Dead Rising 2's DLC help their sales, or satisfy gamers somehow?

The first Alien Breed title, called Alien Breed Evolution on XBLA, was a solid top down shooter that was tweaked quite a bit for its PSN and PC release where it was called Alien Breed Impact.  Today Team 17 has announced the next chapter in the series in a game called Alien Breed 2: Assault.  The original game was conceived as an episodic series and it looks like Team 17 is making good on that promise.
