Today, in celebration of Castle Crashers finally making its way to the Xbox Live Arcade, we have an extremely special Castle Crashers Baby Give-away prize: The chance to play Castle Crashers with the guys from The Behemoth via Xbox Live! That's right, The Behemoth has graciously offered some of their limited online playtime, so we're awarding one lucky fanboy the chance to play Castle Crashers co-op with a few members from The Behemoth including Tom Fulp and - artist to the stars - Mr. Dan Paladin. W00t! This is one of those priceless prizes that needs no further hyping from us.
- We want today's give-away winner to be super respectful, super cool and represent the X3F community in the best light. And the best way to make a good impression on The Behemoth is to shower them with lots of compliments. So, to enter today's give-away, comment on this post telling The Behemoth how much you love them and Castle Crashers. It'll be good practice just in case you win today's prize.
- Only one comment per person will be accepted. Posters of multiple comments will be disqualified. We'll accept entries until 11:00PM eastern time today, August 27th, 2008. You must be at least 18 years old to enter. This giveaway is open only to residents of the U.S. and Canada (excluding Quebec).
- Later today, we'll pick one winner via a random drawing.

I love the behemoth so much, that it pains me I don't have the M$ points to buy their lovely, lovely game.

The art style is perfect. I think more than anything else I love the look of this game (and alien hominid). I'm really excited to have it play out with the plethora of characters and weapons they've come up with. I want to get home and play it, the end of the work day can't come soon enough.

The behemoth should win an award for most hyped game of the year, barely beating titles such as Too Human.
offday @ Aug 27th 2008 12:45PM
Agreed. This is retarded. I'm not kissing ass just to play with some guys who make games. This is worse than game with fame.
Ryan Hartman @ Aug 27th 2008 1:34PM
What if you are gaming with the creators of Castle Crashers and they are like so impressed with your “leet” skill”z” that they offer you a job as a tester? You’d jump! And after a few months of testing, you get your bearings and move up into programming. You program your balls off, right? Yeah, making all types of wicked game engines and shit. Raking in the dough. But that’s not enough; you have a killer idea for a new IP, don’t you? Well you go off on your own, turn this IP into the hottest thing since crotch wigs and next thing you know bada-bing bada-boom, yer the multi-billionaire king of china. Don’t laugh, I’ve seen it happen. So which would you rather be? A lame jagoff like you are right now, or the billionaire king of China? Because that’s what gaming with these guys will do for you.

a**hats say what?
If you don't like the hype, don't post in areas that are hyping the game.
Do you just randomly troll message boards of movies you hate just to scream out loud that you hate them?
A shave and a haircut says you do.

Looks like you're gonna be sportin' the pereira look then: The only reason i posted the comment was because i'm sick of OMG OMG CASTLE CRASHERS OMG ITS SO AMAZING when really it's just a 4-player coop side-scroller with an RPG element with the levelling and the Behemoth's name slapped on it. I'm not saying it's a bad game, the hype train its on is wayyyy too excessive though.
Ryan Hartman @ Aug 27th 2008 2:14PM
You can boil anything down to an abecedarian if you try hard enough. By your logic, Halo is nothing but a FPS with a good party system. Who cares? Gears is just a 3rd party shooter with a cover ability and a chainsaw machinegun. So what? I'm not saying that the chainsaw machine gun isn't cool, but it's wayyy overhyped.
You tell me what you favorite game is and I'll strip it of all merit in a clumsy, exacerbated paw fest too. It's not hard, what you are doing. Just say you don't like it and move on, don't try to justify your hateration.
ottoman673 @ Aug 27th 2008 2:20PM
My favorite game of all time is GTA: San Andreas.
How you gonna boil that one down? it's third person, open world.. the only other game of its kind that did it to its quality was... well.. its predecessors.
Nick @ Aug 27th 2008 2:47PM
ottoman, my comment was split between you and offday
But still, you're posting with a group of people who are discussing the game. Sure, there's no general forum about this - but why go on about overhyped game in an area where people will be looking in regards to the overhyped game they love?
If you have an issue with the constant OMG OMG OMG, then direct it to X3F, not to people who READ X3F who, seemingly so, WANT to hear about the game.
And Pereira look? Are you TRYING to be pretentious? Care to explain that?
Ryan Hartman @ Aug 27th 2008 3:47PM
GTA: San Andreas? That's just another sandbox shoot 'em up. It's Vice City but with an SoCal theme instead of an 80's veneer. So what? I'm not saying it's a bad game, I'm just saying the hype train on that title was wayyyyyyyyyy overdone.
offday @ Aug 27th 2008 7:34PM
The game is overhyped, but all I was saying is that this prize is lame. The t shirt and the figures had over 700 posts for each. This has about 100. No one wants it. Can we stop treating game developers like Gods? This is why so many of them are douchebags.
Guizmau @ Aug 27th 2008 12:41PM
I love them so much that I would ANYTHING for a "castle crashers 2" !!! And also, play with them !!!
I can also say some compliments in French :D
And by the way, thanks for that fabulous Castle Crashers !!!!!

I love Castle Crashers so much that I'm going to walk over to my local Target (which is a good mile or so away) and buy a points card just to download this incredible-looking game.
Mr.U2 @ Aug 27th 2008 12:59PM
If we all had a choice here, we would all unanimously vote to make Behemoth the President of the world! yay.

ZenGaijin @ Aug 27th 2008 1:24PM
I've been waiting on this game 2 years and I would have given you my money 2 years in advance as my faith in Tom & Dan is that strong.
notwen @ Aug 27th 2008 1:24PM

mgsrocks1 @ Aug 27th 2008 1:25PM
J'adore les Castle Crashers et Behemoth!! Thats all the french that I know. :)
todd @ Aug 27th 2008 1:25PM
Eat their organs?
NummNutts @ Aug 27th 2008 1:27PM
My love for this game - which I've never played - has no bounds. I've waited patiently for this game to arrive.
However, I have no chance of winning this because I @#$%ing live in Montreal (Quebec). Why is this not open to Quebec residents? Is it 'cause of the french?
Regardless, I'm counting every minute 'til I finally get home and download the game =)
Teh Lup @ Aug 27th 2008 1:27PM
The chance to crack the ass of castle crashers creators... sign me up
lazyear @ Aug 27th 2008 1:27PM
Castle Crashers is amazing! Love the simple combat and RPG elements.
Played it for about 1-2 hours this morning
wickedfool @ Aug 27th 2008 1:28PM
Can I trade my time with the Dev's for a Blue Knight Action Figure?
Jigsaw hc @ Aug 27th 2008 1:28PM
I love them so much I will actually buy their game and not just play it a a friend's house.
PeacefulOutrage @ Aug 27th 2008 1:29PM
You guys are awesome. Alien Homonid rocked (still like listening to the stick man in PDA games), and looking at the countless options in Castle Crashers shows how much you love to game and us gamers as well. (Weapon storage in a toad with antlers, I mean, come on! That's creative!)
