This prisoner got Steam!! Rolled…

We hope you enjoy this week’s Arena offering. It is fun and frantic and definitely geared for the more dexterous among you. This week’s new Arena Feature is Kat Khaos 2 by Melted Cow!
 
The plot stew has thickened in this sequel to Kat Khaos 1, and before tasting it you should know that there are things moving in the broth. Lots of things. Hairy things, shuffling things… it’s like an undead yeti was tossed in to add a bit of kick. Which, ironically enough, is what you’ll need to add if you want to win: kicking. Kicking of (ehem, SOCCER) balls, kicking of butts… although the odd uppercut is also perfectly acceptable.
 
There is also sizeable slurry of stand-out moments in this Arena Playlist for those less inclined to combat however: 2 challenge levels and even an “”adventure”” level (?!). Solid entries, all three, and hey, who are we to say Melted Cow can’t put an adventure level in their arena playlist? I don’t even know what kind of rules apply for a melted cow, and this IS a free country after all. Granted, BattleBlock Theater is a terrible example, seeing as how most of its population is imprisoned.
 
If you have been waiting for a plum opportunity to show off the full range of your BBT skills, well, this one is so ripe that it’s begun to smell a bit. And when I say smelly, I do mean it in the best possible sense… even if it did come from a cow.

In addition to the new Arena Feature, we’ve got this guy! He’s back! And, honestly, if his head hasn’t gone back to normal by now, its probably permanent. Sorry pal.

 


If you haven’t heard already, we’ve just closed off the registrations for the BattleBlock Theater Steam Beta. We’ll continue reviewing the rest of the Beta Registrants this weekend, so check to see if you got Steamrolled too!

 

The Last of The Final Five Revealed

You’ve waited all this time for the last of The Final Five in BattleBlock Theater to be revealed, and seeing as how it’s Valentine’s Day and all, we decided to just give you the last 2 new prisoners so that you could make it a double date!

What, both? Just like that?? Well, call us a bunch of hopeless romantics, but we just couldn’t separate these two:

 

inseperable

Aw… the magic of organ-theft. You might suspect the Thief to be a bit of a gold-digger, but I think we all know why he spent Castle Crashers sitting up in a tree… and it probably went something like K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

 

And for those times when wearing your heart on your sleeve isn’t enough, this holiday, why not show that special someone you care by wearing your heart right on your face. If they don’t run away screaming, you’ve got a keeper.

 

Just try to remember to keep it T for Teen when you two start flirting with disaster.

 


 

The Thief is unlocked when you finish either the solo or co-op Furbottoms Features playlist. But not until the very end when you’ve beat the last level. Check out a sneak preview of the new cooperative Furbottoms Features playlist, Togetherwefail3.

 

Ms. Pump will unlock as long as you’re signed into Xbox LIVE and head towards an online feature in BattleBlock Theater.
