Castle Crashers was released back in August 2008 and yet it still remains popular. This game is a great example of both the high demand for online multiplayer games and the success that the Xbox Live Arcade could bring to lesser known developers. Also, the DLC that was released for it not too long ago might have helped as well as it could have caused some old players to come back and persuade their friends who did not own the game yet, to join them.

If you still haven’t at least played the Castle Crashers trial, I strongly suggest you head over to the Xbox Live marketplace right now and get it as it’s well worth playing. The game seems simple but simplicity isn’t necessarily a bad thing, in fact, it’s a great thing in this title.  It’s one of the best 2D games out in the Xbox Live Arcade in my opinion. I give props to The Behemoth for coming up such a hit.
