You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Pros:
Good graphics, charcater is easy to control, the textures are prtty refined, big variety of weapons and supplies.
Cons:
Max resolution is 1024x768(32 bits)...what will a guy do who has a 21" monitor? or those who have widescreen LCD's? The alien's don't strife and don't avoid bullets, they just come straight at you.
Review:

The installer of the game(demo) has 5,9MB, the game installed has 13,8mb(14,6mb size on disk). In the category of lightweight games it gets 5stars in size-graphics ratio.

The load time of the game is very fast and that is a big +.

Lets start up the game...where's the intro? a short movie that would make the player curious is missing, it just puts you to main menu.

There are two play modes:
Campaign:go on a mission to eradicate all aliens
Survive:kill all the aliens in the big room, and test out your strenght and endurance.

High score tracking is a pretty cool feature for those who like to get their friends to play on your pc and see who is the best.

When you strife using the keyboard only your legs turn, the character looks like his legs are broken.

If you egt an alien to follow you, and there is a bigger piece of wall next to the door the alien won't be able to find the door, he will stop facing the wall and waiting for you to come out so he can find you.

The variety of weapons is impressive and the weapon shop was a really good idea, this way the player will learn to gather all possible resources.

Get a fully loaded weapon and never recharge...this is very unrealistic, the lack of the weapon recharge feature is a BIG - to the game.

Conclusion:

Its a pretty cool game mostly for the arcade game lovers, the price is pretty high for a game of this type. It isn't very addictive but it will surely keep you in front of the pc for some time.
