So you've spent all your waking hours scattering, smothering, covering and chunking the FBI, KGB, Area 51 guards, robots, and finally a mirror image of yourself, trying to reach the very top of the Alien Hominid HD leaderboards, and now you've finally made it. What do want, a trophy?

Alrighty.

These shiny, handmade beauties have just been shipped by The Behemoth to the top Alien Hominids on Xbox Live across three categories. Each is inscribed with the gamertag and high score of the champion. Suitable for display, the trophies are also excellent for putting in a box somewhere, pulling it out every now and then and saying, "Hey, I forgot I had this thing!" before burying it again. That or eBay.

IT'S GOOD TO BE FIRST!

The Behemoth Ships Exclusive Handmade Trophies for Top "Alien Hominid HD" Players on Xbox Live Arcade

San Diego, CA, May 3rd, 2007— Independent game and toy developer The Behemoth announced today the first shipment of exclusive handmade trophies honoring the top players of Alien Hominid HD on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Xbox LIVE Arcade on the Xbox 360 is the premier destination for digitally distributed, high definition original and classic games.

The trophies, built with love and elbow grease at the developer's studio, are being mailed out to players who have scaled the heights of the Alien Hominid HD leaderboards.

"We wanted to find a way to recognize the top players of Alien Hominid HD," said Alien Hominid HD producer John Baez. "Making some spiffy trophies here in the office from genuinely simulated gold seemed like just the ticket."

The trophies are customized individually for each player, with their Gamertag, high score and date etched into the trophy's base. The select few who manage to maintain the top position for a combined total of three weeks will be catapulted into the Behemoth Hall of Fame, where they will bask in the light of gamer stardom forever; or, at least, for as long as The Behemoth keeps the Hall of Fame posted on its website.
