On August 27, The Behemoth’s side-scrolling beat-’em-up role-playing gameCastle Crasherswill finally be available for a cool 1200 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Although the reality is thatCastle Crashershas been in the making for “a normal amount of development time,” it sure has seemed like forever, hasn’t it? But why make the next week of waiting any harder than it has to be?

After much begging and pleading, we’re being allowed to share with you the first 15 minutes ofCastle Crashers. While the game supports four players (both locally and online), I was only able to round up two people — my good friend (andBaltimore-area record biter) Don and my wife, Debbey — to sit down and play with me.

Note:Castle Crashersis rated T (for “teen”), but the commentary is probably a bit closer to mature. With that in mind, theaudio of this video may be not safe for work. That’sNSFWfor those of you who only look for Internet lingo when browsing blog posts.
