    A limited edition of a quirky PS2 game signed by the lead programmer - officially my nerdiest purchase ever!

    Anybody else get one of these? The limited edition Eurogamer one. I'm number 40 out of the 100 made.

    Got Alien Hominid awhile ago from america. It's good for the price but really not as good as the games it takes it's influence from. Still for the price it's a decent game and worth it for the fantastic artwork.

    BTW I have the GC version which controls an awful lot nicer so :p

    I played it briefly. They should have made the bullets easier to see. The light green colour is pretty neutral and they get lost in the explosions.

    Yeah, out last week.

    On PS2 and Xbox only though, no Gamecube version for Europa.

    I'm enjoying it so far. Very retro. It's difficult though! Gotta be one of the most action packed games I've played in a long time. Look forward to getting into the PDA games too, only briefly tried them at the start.

    Yea there is.

    On my PS2 version it being a 2d game makes the digital pad seem really natural, however I can't imagine using anything but the analog on Gamecube so not sure if that feels more comforstable. The PS2 version does have some slow down sometimes which I assume wouldn't happen on the cube though.
