The Alien Breed games focus on a pattern of going to a waypoint on a map, killing the aliens that get in your way and then going to another waypoint to either collect a key card or activate a switch. After a while, it all becomes routine and you can pretty much guess where the aliens are going to attack from, which is a shame as it becomes predictable…unlike games like Dead Space. But as far as XBLA games go, the Alien Breed trilogy is damn enjoyable.

Insert pun about aliens and cheap games here.

If you’re going to re-make something, at least put your own signature on it to differentiate your version. With Alien Breed on PSN you get the best of both worlds: the original Amiga classic as well as a redone, modernized version of the game. While there isn’t much appeal for those who didn’t experience the 1991 version, those who did will find both nostalgia and something new to enjoy in this package.
