Castle Crashing the Holidays

holidaychickenAs we near yet another end the end of another year here at The Behemoth, we look back. We look back on the endless stream of frantic and fun tradeshows (five of them!) and the beginning of exciting new projects like our 3rd Game and Castle Crashers for PS3.

16 months now since our baby Castle Crashers first blinked at the wide world, and it is still the top rated game on all of XBLA, as rated by Xbox 360 gamers.  That means a lot to us because it isn’t just a publication, it is voting from the gamers themselves. That means that you guys like what we made and we liked you even before you liked us ANYWAY, so we couldn’t like you even more since we already liked you at maximum capacity.

By our ACTUAL count, Castle Crashers has saved 27 marriages (while destroying 1, sorry about that), created 346 father/daughter bonding experiences, been tattooed on 39 bodies, and resulted in exactly 520,687,903 hours of entertainment  for people all over the planet.  That’s pretty amazing. If you were to ask me what’s amazing I would have included that in my response.

I can tell you that you can give Castle Crashers to someone as a gift. And here are two ways to do it:

1) If you happen to live in the USA you can click here, to gift the game via Amazon (or to add it to your Amazon wishlist!)

2) Or, if you prefer to have a physical something to wrap up in a box with a pretty bow, you can go to The Behemoth’s online store and get a special card with the game code (we ship anywhere). As an added bonus, this comes with a free limited-edition collectible pewter medallion. There were only 1000 made, and only a few hundred left! You can gift the Game and the Medallion, or keep the medallion for yourself!

And of course, for your special someone who is already a fan of Castle Crashers, don’t forget to check our all the cool Castle Crashers Shwag!

Here’s wishing you a joyous holiday, and thanks again for all your support this year! …and don’t worry, we have a few more surprises in store for you before the year is out.  😉

The Behemoth

5,000 Necromancer Codes and You!

With so much talk of anniversaries and birthdays we’ve decided to continue our favorite part of both, presents! With that said, we went and got 5,000 Necromancer DLC codes for Castle Crashers and want to just give them away everyday until we run out. Since the latest iteration of the internet provides us with so many different ways of communicating with all of you we’ve made a decision to try to use as many of these sites as possible.

Our holder of the codes Kelly has been on our twitter feed handing out batch after batch of said codes since yesterday morning. In addition to Twitter our Facebook groups here and here are also receiving some love.  If all of those sites weren’t enough we’ll have Kelly here on the blog and over at the forums handing them out as well.

In the event that the  exhaustive list of links above weren’t clear enough, here’s a simpler one to follow:

  1. Twitter – Be our friend please
  2. Facebook group – The Behemoth – face our books please
  3. Facebook group – Castle Crashers – two is better than 1
  4. Blog – You are Here
  5. Forums – They are somewhere else

Remember, since this is a free-for-all style distribution you have to be quick and grab your code and redeem it before someone else does. Imagine you’re a gladiator in a cage and you’re about to fight someone else. Then all of a sudden a lion shows up! Well it’s really nothing like that at all, infact I don’t even know what I’m talking about anymore.

Thanks.
