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?"
