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.
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 released right around the holidays last year in a time where the downloadable title competed with many of the biggest games of the year. As such, it didn't do quite as well as Team 17 had hoped, and despite a solid game - the reviews fell short of expectations. We gave the game a respectable 3.5 out of 5, though there were a few nuances that rubbed us the wrong way. Since then we've been waiting for the PC and PS3 release of the game.
Resident Evil 5 is the name of the game, and surviving the new DLC mode requires strategy. On The Download this week will be taking an in-depth, but spoiler-free look "Lost In Nightmares." We'll also explore new DLC and Arcade titles, as well as our recommended freebie of the week.
