Have you ever wanted to headbutt a bird person who might be your mother in the face?

...Seriously? You have? Sorry. Your response just took us by surprise, is all.

Well, come May 5 - even if you don't own a gaming PC that's achieved sentience - you'll be able to.

Atlus recently announced that Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition will - perhaps literally - hit Xbox Live Arcade on May 5. In addition to a re-tooled interface and a nifty gallery feature, the oddball brawler now sports a co-op multiplayer survival mode.

If you haven't played Zeno Clash, we implore you to try it now. The PC version was one of our favorite games of 2009. No joke.

The full press release is below.

About Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition
In the land of Zenozoik, the city of Halstedom is ruled by a powerful clan, one which Ghat has betrayed by committing a terrible sin.  Now, Ghat's brothers and sisters are pursuing him and his companion Deadra through strange and twisted lands, beyond the boundaries of the sane to the ends of the world.  What was Ghat's crime and why did he commit it?  The bare-knuckled brawl to reach the truth has just begun.
