I've always been used to being an outlier. I was an only child from an early age, I was the only male in my family for a while, and my favorite game of 2008 was Castle Crashers. I loved that game so much I even joined the Facebook group late last year. Recently I came to find out that group is now the official fangroup and is being supported by The Behemoth. As part of that support, The Behemoth has been giving out complimentary codes for The King DLC. I redeemed my code and played as The King and as his unmasked generic knight. In addition to the new characters, there are also new weapons, new animal orbs, and more reasons for me to revisit the greatest game of 2008.

If you liked Castle Crashers better than that other game with the [insert your opinion here] ending, be sure to visit this page and vote. I am still recovering from the awesome Xbox Live Arcade year. Seriously, I have to choose between Rez HD, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Castle Crashers, A Kingdom for Keflings, and Galaga Legions. Those were all awesome games and (for me) beat out anything else* released during the same period.
