Grundy the Man writes, "Originally entitled Ye Olde Side-Scroller, the game was first shown at Comic-Con 2005, but in light of the Columbine School shootings, went dark due to concerns over the violence depicted in the game. After the buzz surrounding the school shootings faded, the development team continued in their efforts to bring the newly renamed, Castle Crashers to the Xbox LIVE Arcade. Three years later, the game was released to the fever pitch anticipation of hardcore fans.
Does Castle Crashers live up the legacy that The Behemoth established with Alien Hominid, or will it be lost in the shadow of their past successes?"
Andrew M writes: "To celebrate the mini renascence of brawlers we've had recently, we came up with a list of 4 more classics we hope to see get a revival soon."
How much you want to bet a Simpsons game remake wouldn't have Marge wielding that vacuum?
Brawlers saw a sharp decline in popularity in the mid-1990s for several reasons. Then in the mid-2000s, the genre saw a resurgence which is still going strong today. So, don your armour and unsheathe your swords as we investigate what led to Brawler's initial downfall and the games which brought the genre back from the brink.
The Best Couch Co-op Games make you laught, rage and can be a lot of fun. Here are the ones that you should check out if you have not done so already.
I love this game.. It really is a shame they didn't patch it sooner
I ended up with a level 40 dude and NO freekin weapons.. Not even my shovel.. it was pretty lame.. But now that they fixed that stuff I guess it would be alright to buy this one.. Great fun
We had tons of fun playing this in the first week of release, patch be damned. I should pull it out again soon and see how it is.
Does anybody think that this will ever come to PSN or WiiWare?
i would also like to see it on PSN it looks like a fun little game and it wud be great to play it
