BattleBlock Theater coming out Spring 2013
The Behemoth's BattleBlock Theater, first announced way back in 2009, looks to be finally arriving this Spring. The official beta starts this Thursday, and once that's out of the way we might finally see the release of the game! Maybe. Hopefully. Who knows. Oh, and BattleBlock will be making an appearance at PAX East next month once again. The Behemoth always has the best toys for sale at their booth, specifically all their Castle Crasher figures.

| 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. So I'll just cut to the chase here: it was worth the wait if you're a platforming fan.more

| 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.

I played Battleblock Theater at PAX this weekend and was so impressed I made sure it got a Destructoid Game of the Show nomination. It was just that much silly, outrageous, beautifully violent fun!more
