Wednesday marks the long-awaited launch of the cutesy, but deadly, Castle Crashers which adds some salt to the wound that is the Xbox 360 void caused by the “red ring of death.” Oh, how this writer wishes he could spend all those 1500 pennies ($15, 1200 Microsoft Points) on The Behemoth’s latest romp this week…might have to dip into some PS3-playable games, instead.
For those of you wondering…yes, Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam and Spy Fox are real game characters in “real” $20-still-too-expensive games for the trash dump that is the Nintendo Wii. We mean publishers use it as a dumping ground, not that it’s an actual dump…or is it?
