Their technology would be more advanced if only based on the premise that they would have more time to work on it. Their physiology might have forced them to adapt to much harsher circumstances than we could imagine. They might have to be super strong, or have a bright shell to deflect the searing Suns of Gargarabi, or be super-intelligent to outsmart the thuggery displayed by those previous two warmongers.
With all this Chaos in the Cosmos (note to self: title of next book) (Ed note: title is taken) how would we puny, self-indulgent, shell-less, soft, monkey's uncles defend ourselves? Well, the answer is simple: we wouldn't. No no no, why -- nay -- HOW could we do that when there are plenty of freaks to throw at them?"

"By now most gamers are immune to being sucked in to purchasing a video game that is based off a movie. For the most part the games aren’t based off the movie itself, and are usually a side story created using loose parts of the movie to tell it. Developer Beenox and Amaze Entertainment, with publisher Activision decided to throw their hats into the ring and take on the project of creating the home based console and handheld versions of the movie by DreamWorks Monster vs. Aliens."
Movie-tie-ins are almost always universally panned by critics and are seen by the majority of the industry as an opportunity to cash in on something big at the box office. Usually criticism levelled at said productions is due to poor game play elements resulting from a short development time and a rush to release the game on a tight schedule, unfortunately for Activision Monster vs. Aliens fits this trend to a tee.

The game, based on the upcoming Monsters vs. Aliens feature film, is developed by Amaze Entertainment for the Nintendo DS. The general plot and gameplay is fairly similar to its console cousins though the game was obviously adapted for the handheld."
