Alien Breed is a game that some remember with great enthusiasm, while others respond with blank stares when the title is brought up. A hit on the Amiga, the top-down title was a little bit Gauntlet, a little bit Doom, and a little bit Aliens. The update is out now on the Xbox Live Arcade for 800 points ($10), and it’s coming to both the PC and the PlayStation Network in 2010.
Without having played the original—I received a gentle mocking for that shortcoming by Team 17 itself at an early GDC where I was able to play an early version of the game—this is one I’m going to have to judge on its own merits.
