"Sure, 2011 is in the rearview mirror, but that doesn’t mean we’re done looking back on the year. Sony recently its list of the year’s top-selling games and downloads on the PlayStation Network, and the titles on that list might surprise you — mainly because most of them weren’t released in 2011."
"Back when The Behemoth’s independent title Castle Crashers hit the XBLA more than two years ago, it was like peanut butter and chocolate. Seeing the artwork of Newgrounds.com artists paired with the beat-em-ups I grew up with brought a manly tear of joy to my eye back when it was released."

Castle Crashers developer, The Behemoth, recently confirmed that the Necromantic DLC will be "coming soon." But just how soon is "soon?" Apparently, tomorrow. Boot up your 360 and you can download the new DLC for 160 MS Points from the Marketplace.
The upcoming Castle Crashers Necromantic DLC pack will be offering quite a few things. Amongst them are two new characters; the Necromancer and the Cult Minion. A new animal orb, dragonhead, also comes with it. They've added two weapons as well; the NG Skull Mace and finally, the Chainsaw. The release date for the DLC is currently unannounced but will be "coming soon."
"Castle Crashers has been one of the bright lights on Xbox Live Arcade since it was released last August. The stylized side-scrolling brawler offered a winning mix of solid action, quirky charm, and four-player co-op play. Unfortunately, PlayStation 3 owners haven't been able to get in on the fun--until now. The Behemoth is taking the wraps off of Castle Crashers for the PlayStation 3 at Comic-Con today, and showing off the first playable version of the upcoming downloadable title. We paid the..."
"As a feisty yet adorable alien, gamers must fend off FBI agents in search of their coveted spacecraft. With unique, hand-drawn characters and weapons, this award-winning title is the epitome of quirky humour and intergalactic fun. Sixteen levels, seven Mini-Games, and jump-in anytime multiplayer capability adds to the cosmic mayhem. Alien Hominid HD from The Behemoth is a side-scrolling extraterrestrial experience like no other, and is available now for download on XboxLIVE! Arcade for Xbox360."
Much like Scamco has done in the past (many times), The Behemoth is offering you content that you have already paid for. Be an aware gamer and do not support this practice.
