The latest addition to the cab, and damn is it ever awesome.

Beat-em-up style game that encourages changing up weapons mid-attack. Awesome animation, dark humor, and a Tarantino-esque type story (and gore). This game has it all.

Available for XBox, PS, and PC and the controls are very customizable so it should work in a cab if you have it. P2 needs a gamepad but that can easily be overcome with come creative PPJoy configuring. I was able to get my 2 player cab configured for the game pretty easily.

Check it out if you can

Review here (although I don't agree with a lot of it, it shows some good gameplay):



IMO, Xbox or PS players might not find it as technical as some of the other games in the library, but it fits perfectly in an arcade style setting and brings me back to some great beat-em-ups where you could do some awesome moves with fairly little effort, but you can also link and switch weapons and combos mid-fight which make each battle fun and interesting.

I saw it at PAX east last year. Reminded me of Alien Hominid.

Which reminds me, did they ever come out with Alien Hominid for PC? There was talk that it would eventually make it to PC shortly after the XBOX release

Well Alien Hominid started life as a flash game on New Grounds, and its still there for free if you want to play it, I don't think its much different, pain to get a joypad working with it though...

Nope, they never did. There's the console versions only, and the older flash game.

Hate to reply to my own post, but I beat it tonight.

FUCK YEAH, that was gratifying.
