Buckle your pants and get ready for the latest wonderful game from The Behemoth, because Battleblock Theater is now available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace!"
Castle Crashers is just as fun today as it was a decade ago, writes Gazette gaming columnist Jake Magee.
Newgrounds fundamentally changed indie gaming and independent animation. Now it's struggling for the very reasons it was so influential -- creative freedom.
Interesting story. I haven't heard about newgrounds in years. The site was great and I hope the people that still frequent the site choose to support it. If not, you should give it a Viking funeral.

Having grown up on early-90s platformers like Commander Keen and Cosmo’s Cosmic Adventure, and playing both of The Behemoth’s previous titles, it seemed only a natural choice to pick up the fabulous Battleblock Theater.
The Behemoth have advanced their status in the gaming world by finally adding actual speech to their games instead of just speech bubbles filled with witticisms and exclamations. They have employed the voice talents of Will Stamper of Newgrounds, StamperTV and OneyCartoons. Here, he is the much-loved-and-loathed narrator."
This looks awesome and it is from the creators of Castle Crashers. Not to mention it says it was published by MS studios.
Will get!
