If you like the inimitable, tongue-in-cheek, grin-inducing art and humor of The Behemoth from Alien Hominid or their many Newgrounds titles , you’ll like this game. In fact, I wish I could wholeheartedly endorse Castle Crashers as a great buy for nearly any Xbox 360 gamer. Unfortunately, if you like online multiplayer, and were hoping to get in on “this month’s only online multiplayer XBLA game” as boasted on Castle Crashers’ devblog , I’m going to have to recommend you wait a while before purchasing this one.

In a pleasant break from the trend of arguing over what, exactly, constitutes and active user and whether or not there is room in the marketplace for two subscription-based MMOs, ArenaNet has just ... more
