BattleBlock Theater (from the makers of Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid)

Looks like a winner for Live Arcade this year. Maybe they'll do that summer of arcade again?

Seems to incorporate the same griefing elements as New Super Mario Brothers Wii.

Love the over-the-top-seriousness of the trailer (Castle Crashers was over the top, but in a silly way instead)

Crazy madly in love on the fluid movement, the chaos, the potential fun reminds me of what Bizzare Creations would do with N+ with the help of oops... Dan Paladin himself.


This needs lotsa love- it's not really getting much in the gaming world, and that's pretty sad IMO.

I enjoy platformers so this should be quite fun.

This game took so long to come out that I'd forgotten about it, but it's awesome. It's like Little Big Planet (if it controlled well), combined with Castle Crashers and Smash Brothers. You get the complete weirdness of Castle Crashers and the awesome 2D art.

Great reviews from Edge, Eurogamer, Destructoid, Joystiq

Part way through Act 2. Very good platformer. Pretty simple, but enjoyable.

looks like a winner. I watched their dev videos long back and loved it.

Is this coming to psn?

I *think* the game is published by Microsoft. I haven't played in a few days, so I'm trying to remember if that splash screen was on this game or another one.

Just beat chapter 2. So far pretty fun. Haven't tried co-op or any of the community playlists yet.
