To celebrate Castle Crashers reaching over 2 million players on XBLA we’re going to have a little (BIG!) tournament for all you millions of XBLA Castle players. So I hereby introduce The Behemoth’s first ever…

With all these people playing Castle Crashers.. many have claimed to have the unparalleled skillz, the bestest combos, the most awesome attacks. Finally, once and for all we shall know:

Who is the best Castle Crashers Arena Fighter in all the world?

The first prize of the Tournament of Champions is a Gold Xbox. Yes, a functional Xbox plated in 24k GOLD. Imagine playing on a golden Xbox. Envision the look on your friend’s faces. Kings and Queens would come over to your house to play BattleBlock Theater.

2nd prize will also win an Xbox, though not of silver- an Castle Crashers themed Elite. 3rd place will drown their nearness to victory in 250 squishy chickens. Everyone in the top 100 will win a prize, and the top 24 will get a special bonus as well. Here’s how its going to go down:

To be eligible for the tournament you have to be in the top 100 Weekly Ranked Arena players on the Castle Crashers leaderboards at noon (PST) on January 28th. You will have all that week to battle amongst yourselves to claim those spots. The top 100 will compete in 1 on 1 Arena matches, in a single elimination tournament format on Saturday February 5th, until we have a victor! You have 2 weeks to hone your skills before the tournament begins!

Basic small print:
One entry per person. Players must be available to play online from 8:00am to 5:00pm (PST) on February 5th. Players under 18 years of age must have parental permission to participate. Level 256 and other cheaters will be disqualified!

And so as it was foretold, XBLA Castle Crashers will be about the price of hamburger for 10 days this month of December.

It’s going to be 50% off! Pretty close to FREE if you round up the percentage.. I suppose.

I was in this serious funk. And so I was thinking; So what if we’ve made the #1 rated XBLA game of all time? XBLA Game of the Year XBLA Shmame of the Shmear, nothing is worth 15 dollars. Maybe our efforts are REALLY only worth somewhere around 7 dollars. Honestly, maybe even less.

For those of you who were specifically holding out for this moment of us devaluing our self worth: you’ve got more than a week to act on our brief crisis of confidence — but, everyone’s been saying really nice things about us lately so I’m guessing we’ll only be sad from December 21st to the 31st. After that I bet we’ll be proud of what we’ve made once again. In the meantime, if you’ve been Castle Crashersless because you only have those 600 MS points that you found in your couch cushions, its a good time to finally check out this thing that we made.
