Why You Should Try Castle Crashers


Castle Crashers is a two dimensional "hack 'n slash"/beat 'em up.  It has four player online and local co-op.  The game is very well received and most of you have probably played it by now, but for those of you that haven't you should really consider doing so.

The plot of the game is simple, you are a knight in a medieval land.  Your kingdom is attacked, and your multi-ethnic princesses are stolen.  You are three other knights are sent on a quest to retrieve them!


The art style is fairly unique and should remind some of your of a certain website from your childhood.  The creators of this game are creators of Newgrounds, while I don't think Newgrounds is as popular now as it was, it certainly was a major internet player in childhood.

Why You Should Try South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play!


South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play is an Xbox Live Arcade title.  The game is obviously a tower defense game, but there is a slight spin on it.  You control one of the four main characters: Stan, Cartman, Kyle, or Kenny.  Each character is capable of building towers, and they all throw snow balls which deal damage to the advancing enemies.  In addition, each character also has a special move which I'll get to later.


The first few levels start out very basic, but it does get fairly difficult.  As you kill enemies, they drop money that you need to pick of to build and upgrade towers.  The towers are all fairly South Park themed, ranging from "normal" things like baseball shooters to tied up cats that "cheese" the advancing foes.


The story advances after each completed level.  It is told through stylized anime like sequences, with full voice acting from the few original actors that do most the voices.  Something terrible has happened in South Park, and now waves and waves of all sorts of people and creatures are stopping at nothing to get through!


As you progress through the story mode, you go to many South Park inspired locations.  The school, sixth grade hangout, junkyard, even the top of a mountain for an epic confrontation with the half man, half bear, half pig itself.
