Castle Crashers Sale On Xbox LIVE Arcade!

Egads! Somebody decided to chop the cost of Castle Crashers on Xbox LIVE Arcade in half as if it were a dastardly barbarian who pillaged our village. As you know, all lifeless, severed barbarian heads are only worth about 600 MS points on the black market, so that’s how much we’ll be charging for a copy of Castle Crashers from now through Monday, May 21st. Not a bad deal when you consider you’re getting the FULL game… that’s much better than only a portion of a barbarian corpse.

 

 

That right there is what we call value. You’d be a fool to pass up a deal like that. A FOOL! And don’t go tellin’ us that you already bought the game twenty times… that’s no excuse! When you see a good deal, you must snatch it up immediately, or you run the risk of having sleepless nights for the rest of your life. A lifetime of insomnia or 600 MS points. The choice is clear.

Plus, we know you forgot to buy mom a gift for Mother’s Day this past weekend. What better way to say, “I’m sorry for being a horrible offspring,” than with the gift of Castle Crashers? It’s what she really wants anyway. Seriously. She told us.

Grab a copy of Castle Crashers for 50% off before we realize what a horrible mistake we’ve made and put the price back where it should be. Check out the Microsoft Studios Sale!

 

A Milestone for Alien Hominid!

A long time ago, we made a game called Alien Hominid. It was based on the Newgrounds.com web game of the same name by Dan Paladin and Tom Fulp, and it led the creation of the Behemoth.

Well, just the other day, the original version of Alien Hominid passed a big milestone on Newgrounds – the game has now exceeded 20 million plays!

After being released on Newgrounds, the Behemoth was eventually formed and Alien Hominid was developed for the Nintendo GameCube and Sony PlayStation 2. Now the full HD version is available on Xbox LIVE.

Our lovable, little, yellow alien invader pal sure has come a long way since that little Flash version of the game. 20 million plays? That’s a LOT of chomped heads. Yeah… we’re really proud of him.

Anyway, we just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who’ve supported us by playing the game, sharing it with your friends, and even wearing our Alien Hominid antennae at the San Diego Comic-Con with pride!

In other news, our fan fiction writing contest finalists have been selected and you can vote for your favorite story. The top five will be the lucky winners of a BattleBlock Theater t-shirt or Castle Crashers on XBLA or PSN America. YOU choose those five. Winners will be announced next Tuesday, May 15th.

Until then, try playing the original Alien Hominid to relive some of those chomptacular memories!
