The Lure is Strong: Castle Crashers - Xbox 360 Live Arcade
If gems like this keep turning up on the Xbox 360 Live Arcade the lure of the machine may well be too much to resist! Funny that the only thing to get me excited so far about Microsoft's Next Gen gear is a 2D Button Masher!
Castle Crashers comes from the makers of Alien Hominid which I thoroughly enjoyed on the GBA back in February this year. The art was unique and the gameplay was repetetive but remained fun from start to finish.

Yeah, Xbox Live Arcade seems awesome. Before I 'broke' my Xbox in a softmod related incidient, Live in general was impressive.
I have tentive plans to buy a 360 once the price drops, if only for: 1) Halo 3, 2) Halo 1 and 2, and 3) Xbox Live and the games within.
If you get one, I'll have someone to play online with... so that'd seal the deal!
Hehe. Come to the dark side.... The Live Arcade is nice. We've loaded up ours with a bunch of games. I wish you could play multiplayer games against others in the network for free though, like you can with the Nintendo DS.
Are you planning on getting one of the other next gen systems later on this year?
Oh the Wii is a shoe in. Nintendo firmly inserted a "fanboy chip" into my cerebral cortex at the tender age of 8 or so. Ever since then whenever I see a Big N product I just HAVE to have it!
I'm so excited about the Wii too. That company is all about innovation and I strongly support that.
My first thought on this game was "wow, that looks awesome!"
My second thought was "Holy crap ... I'm excited over an XBLA game?!"
This is going to be some multiplayer goodness of the non-FPS variety, and thats alright by me.
That game does look good but Xbox 360 in Japan stinks and even more so with the game region coding. I am worried if I bought one I would never get any of the good game releases and I am unfamiliar with Xbox Live in Japan. I wonder if they get all these fun releases as well? Its Wii for me. Hopefully the Wii will keep the nice tradition of the handhelds and not try and shove region coding on there. Didn't Sony promise PS3 would have no gaming regions as well?
