Santa Monica, CA – March
24, 2009 – When aliens attack, monsters fight back in Activision

genius Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. and Insectosaurus, the 350-foot tall grub to defeat
the alien invaders.  Players master the unique and diverse abilities of
each character as they ooze, brawl, skate, puzzle solve, climb, crawl, jump and
race through more than 20 levels on Earth and through outer space. 

Monsters vs. Aliens was developed for the console
and PC platforms by Beenox, Inc. and for Nintendo DS by Amaze
