Don't worry: BattleBlock Theater is still a thing
Remember that one time we saw that teaser image for Battleblock Theater and got all excited? It feels like that was ages ago. Well, that was because it was nearly three years ago, and the game has been hit with delay after delay, to the point where a lot of people have either forgotten about it, or don't care. There's still no release date, but The Behemoth does say that they're "hitting the home stretch," so hopefully an announcement should come any week now. Right now the only new news besides the fact that the game is finally almost done is that it obtained a T for Teen rating in the US for "blood and violence." Yep, sounds like a Behemoth game.

| 11:00 AM on 04.03.2013 Review: BattleBlock Theater |

After nearly five years of development time, BattleBlock Theater is finally here. Following the success of Castle Crashers, it would stand to reason that The Behemoth has some big shoes to fill, and for many, the suspense is killer.

| 11:00 PM on 11.03.2011 BattleBlock Theater is all about being cool |

BattleBlock Theater, by The Behemoth, has humor, murder, cuteness and now ice. A new video has just been released with some gameplay footage that introduces prisoner #10330 and the ice levels. While I would have liked some more voiced story trailers, this one shows off the game, so I suppose I'm okay with it. The real question here is, can that guy narrate my life?more
| 6:46 PM on 08.28.2011 Battleblock Theater is Battlebloody Brilliant |

A hi-res, hand-drawn, downloadable game in which cute characters are imprisoned by maniacal cats who force them to act in lethal plays for their amusement. Sounds like a game from The Behemoth to me!

It was just that much silly, outrageous, beautifully violent fun!more
