You can download Alien Hominid in the marketplace for 800msp.
Alien Hominid is a side scrolling game that reminds me of games like Metal Slug and Viewtiful Joe. You are an alien that crashed on earth and special agents much like those in the movie "Men In Black" have to clean up the mess. You'll also collect weapon power-ups that give you more damaging lasers, fire, ice, spread, a close-range shotgun blast, etc. You can also toss grenades, and when you're up close, you can pull out a knife and cut men in half or bite their heads off. If you get hit once you die, but you get many lives a quite a few continues. Once you beat a level you will not have to redo that level again. You can load the last level you left on. You can also play co-op mode which is alot of fun. My step-son and I played last night and made it to level 1-4. The game is not easy by any means. This really makes the replay value high because you will not beat this game over night. This game has a total of 200 achievement points to unlock.

The graphics are very nice in this game. No there is no 3D enviorments or realistic.....well...anything! But the comic book feel is exactly what this game needed. Its quite a pleasure on the eyes.
Sound
The sound is nothing fantastic but it fits the game quite nicely.
Overall
This is one of the best arcade games you can download. Is it worth the $10? Well to me it is and I am sure others will agree.
This game gets an 85/100
