Those of you that are snobby, PC only gamers (I’m 89% there) probably never had the joy of playing The Behemoth’s Castle Crashers. That is going to change on September 26th as medieval themed beat-em up will be hitting the imaginary shelves of Steam. Rejoice citizens, the day is good. This really is a great game and must be experienced, preferably with 3 buddies and some pizza and/or root beer floats. Beat-em ups are a rare commodity these days, especially on [...]

Horrible Newswire: Gaming of All Definitions

How well did you survive the flood of gamescom? Sorting through all the entertaining but ultimately superfluous game trailers was fun enough, but only a few announcements shook us. Of course it was entirely possible we were distracted with the return of The Cursed Checkpoint as well as Gen Con kicking off locally in our home base of Indianapolis. Josh documented the best minis and best cosplayers. Last Week’s Headlines Evil RE6 stats heading your way with ResidentEvil.Net Papo & [...]

Castle Crashers has been one of the long-standing champions of Xbox Live Arcade, but recently it’s been met with some ferocious competition. The Behemoth decided that it would try to help those who haven’t purchased the game yet (which is still wildly popular) by slashing its price in half to 600 MS Points. You might be thinking, “I have the game, and who hasn’t played or bought the game yet?” This guy. People who will benefit from this sale: Cheap people People late [...]

Shiniest Objects: It Feels Pretty Damn Good

A game of the year contender approaches just as PAX takes over the industry for another weekend. We were there, but not before reliving the glory days of the 16-bit era and even some good ‘ol fashions wrasslin’. Every day we are on the look out for the most interesting news items in the gaming industry. Some make it on the site as headlines, and the articles that just miss the cut end up in the Shiny Objects feed which can [...]

Last year we were really excited for the release of the Scott Pilgrim vs The World video game. Amazing art style, great soundtrack, and influenced by one of my favorite beat-em ups, River City Ransom. However, playing SPVTW was a bit of a chore, and let’s face it, that whole genre needs some help. Ever since the classic arcade games of our youth it has struggled to gain new life, while Castle Crashers came close, I think we’ve been drug [...]

The first half of 2010 was rough for me, but it had nothing to do with the quality of the games that I played (except for Alpha Protocol sucking so badly that the clerk at GameStop advised me to transfer my pre-order credit to a purchase or another pre-order). Since I tend to focus on one game at a time and prefer to wait and find out if a title whose release I’ve been excited about is worth my money, [...]
