Noted in today's press release, Castle Crashers is crashing onto Xbox Live Arcade this summer. The title was winner of an IGF award at last year's GDC, and it was then that we heard of it being pushed back to 2008. It's not the most specific release date, but we're glad to have to finally have confirmation of its impending release.

Hooray!

Yes yes yes yes.

Fucking finally. I have been waiting for this game for years.

Speakig of The Behemoth...

I have Alien Hominid for the Gamecube, but I want to download the 360 version... does it looks very different? How hard is to get all the achievements?

Same basic game, but in HD with achievements. Really, it's one of those "so nice I bought it twice" games. Just like I'll be purchasing 12 downloads of Castle Crashers.

head chomp achievement and soviet missile mastar achievement are pretty tough.

Just get Metal Slug Anthology for the PSP or Wii. It's pretty much better.

Longest.

XBLA Development Cycle.

Ever.

Sweet. Almost time to get an Xbox 360. :)

capt_carl: Feb 20th 2008; 8:20PM

YES GOD YES!! I love Alien Hominid so much I have toys on my desk.

@Fernando: The achievements are hard.

It's an odd decision to make the orange/yellow character use fire while the red character uses lightning instead of the reverse.

Rask: Feb 20th 2008; 8:55PM

I am getting this one day 1.

qrayg: Feb 20th 2008; 10:09PM

Wait... they're still making this game??? I remember when this game was supposed to be released in 2005.

Too little too late.

As you can see, I'm a big fan... and keep hoping those guys see these.

I got the figurines for this one already. I also had the honour of playing a demo of the game at an exhibition in Melbourne at ACMI about game developers. It is gunna be worth the wait.
