-This looks to be THE definitive Xbox live arcade game(and it better be after spending so goddamn long in development), and suddenly Live Arcade doesn't seem to suck with Penny Arcade, Braid, Bionic Commando & this all hitting recently.

Good game, beat it with a friend on day one. Even better, it's been a blast to keep on playing.

Yeah this game is a blast to play. One of the best XBLA games released all summer. Too bad online co-op doesn't quite work yet.

Bah, I can never connect to any games. I know there is a problem as they even reported saying they're going to release a patch for it soon. Hopefully you won't lose all your progress when you end your session- I've heard that happens to some users when they play co-op on Live.

my buddy lost all of his weapons randomly when we disconnected, so there may be some truth to that. im on my third character through the game and have about 70 percent of weapons and have only been disconnected a few times.

There is supposedly a patch coming. Eventually.

Castle Crashers DLC Hints
From The Behemoth's (http://www.thebehemoth.com/) official Castle Crashers Development Blog (http://devblog.thebehemoth.com/?p=334) comes word that a few rumored characters and weapons will be making an appearance soon as Xbox Live DLC.

Quote:
Moving forward we can tell you that yes there will be a playable King and Necromancer. Yes, there is a chainsaw weapon, and no, they are not currently in the game.

As soon as we get more information from our friends over at Microsoft we’ll share that with you.
