BattleBlock Theater Trailer - The Behemoth



The Behemoth is one of those developers whose games I get legitimately pumped up for. Dan Paladin, the chief artist and visionary behind the company, has a unique design style that you will either love or hate. This will be the company's 3rd game, and judging from this trailer alone, it certainly has the potential to be their best.

Darth, along with the art style, the gameplay in The Behemoth games is another take it or leave it proposition. Alien Hominid is a very entertaining and brutally honest interpretation of the Metal Slug series, while Castle Crashers is less trial and error and more hack em up coop fun. I think both games have their place and XBLA is the perfect place for them.

These arent games you are going to spend 100s of hours in, maybe more like a dozen or two. But for $10 or $15, they are a great deal and I do enjoy going back to them from time to time. The art style is phenomenal and the gameplay, while not for everyone, nor very deep or very subtle, is certainly fun. Sometimes, thats all I want out of a game.

With so many good games in the arcade, so many retail titles in my backlog, and games like Starcraft 2 and Civ 5 around, its very hard to make time for everything. Lets try to get in some Harmony of Despair this weekend, and if you want maybe even some Castle Crashers :-)

Speaking of Starcraft 2... Have you seen the most epic replay yet?
