A new release for Xbox Live Arcade is Castle Crashes from The Behemoth Studios. Released this week and extremely popular, we had to fight for the few codes available for review from Microsoft, this game is definitely old school side-scrolling gaming fun for any member of the family, no matter what their age.

Check the review out and see what you think, as well as the very cartoony screens which are a trademark of the game.

The King’s 4 hot daughters have been kidnapped and who else better to rescue them than the King’s most trusted Knights. That’s all there is to know with The Behemoth’s Castle Crashers, and you couldn’t ask for a more straight forward plot.

The Behemoth have added their own unique twist to this side-scrolling game which definitely makes it a worthy purchase for any gamer looking to use their points on Xbox Live or buy more to get this. The Red knight, Green knight, Blue knight or Orange knight are yours to choose from before starting the campaign and from there it’s game on.

Hacking & Slashing through hordes of different enemies gives you experience points which then allows you to level up, and then in comes the RPG element of the game. There are 4 different areas that you can upgrade, Strength, Magic, Defense/Health and Speed/Accuracy. All these of course help you as you progress further into the game.
