This is a really good idea for a thread
That sounds like a really good offer, I might get it. I got Castle Crashers already

[Stretchysumo]

I would buy it if i hadn't bought it on release 2 years ago.

I wasn't a big fan of A.H.

Dad's Home is a flash movie. Dad 'N' Me is the flash game.

Why is Alien Hominid so damn hard!? :|

I like all of The Behemoth's games. I think you have to be a fan of the Contra, Metal Slug, or Gunstar Heroes games to truly appreciate Alien Hominid. It's more or less, a stylized version of them.

I had 500 points spare off buying Castle Crashers earlier this week, so I picked it up. I mean, I already have the PS2 version, but there's nothing else I was going to spend them on, so whatever.

To provide a worthy challenge from all the piss easy shit that's out there.

It's not that hard though, as you think about it rather than running around like a knob it's very manageable to complete.

Are the nicer graphics and extra bonus stuff worth the upgrade?

No.

It's worth it if you're an achievement whore and you know how to play it. It's only £3 this week so you can do much worse however.

[JKMonkey]

i already have it, had it for years now

and i have up upgrade, i have a Silver subscription as of now

It was released on PS2 and Gamecube to y'know

I already have it but it's a sweet deal for anyone who doesn't already own it.

[BananaBreadMuffin]

I have it on PS2 and achievements are too hard so I won't bother buying it.... did notice it though.

Unless you're a huge achievement whore or a big fan of The Behemoth games, this really isn't worth buying.

That is, it's not for the casual gamer.

It's really easy once you get used to it. You just have to learn how to dodge.

It's worth paying full money for if it helps the Behemoth, plus it's a damn hard game. Miles harder than Castle Crashers.

I don't agree, Castle Crashers on Insane is a lot harder than Expert AH, in my opinion.

Both are easy to get 200 on, I just found the upper tiers harder on Crashers (you know, playing the game past achievements for fun. Not many people like doing that these days it seems)

If that was true for me I wouldn't be playing Rock Band months ago.

It wasn't aimed at you, it was a general observation of the state of gaming these days.

People that play shit like Avatar, King Kong, Lost, any Disney game just for a bigger score. An invalidated score if you ask me because any cunt can 1000 those games, just makes you less of a cunt if you haven't stooped that low.

I'm the lesser cunt. Never played any of those sort of games. Never even 100% on a game. Besides DoD. Skate 2 is so close!!!!

I'm a completion whore, but only on games that are a challenge. Like Skate 2 for instance, it actually takes skill to finish that game, and is more "respectable" (as much respect as finishing a game draws).
