Alien Hominid must have been great online to earn a spot on the console market. I don't know how the game was originally, but the console port is pretty awesome. You start the game as this little alien who crash landed on earth. While the government is trying to bring you in, other people help you by offering bonus upgrades. As you make your way through the game, you experience a variety of settings and gameplay types, all while trying to find your little ship. The game has no story whatsoever but you can't hold that against it, as it isn't trying to tell a story. Its meant purely to just be fun. The mini games are also relatively addicting and going for high scores will keep you coming back. The multi-player is especially fun and competitive. Overall this is a great game. Nothing spectacular, but lots of fun
