Raskulls finally gets a gameplay video, we jump on its bones photo

I think I finally figured out why Raskulls is so appealing me. The name, look and characters remind me of one of those affordable, miniature, collectible toy lines from the nineties. Monster in my Pocket, Mini Boglins, Bad Eggz, etc. You could easily put Raskulls in that list and be none the wiser.

However, Raskulls is instead a videogame, and judging from the world's first gameplay trailer, it's a game that could be among the hottest XBLA titles this year. The block-breaking, sidescrolling racing title appears to be coming along excellently, and should be a lot of great fun. If this game plays as fun as it looks, it could be this year's answer to Castle Crashers. 

Take a look at the video and let us know what you think.

Block-breaking, sidescrolling racing title? I'm sold, and I don't even know who or what Raskulls are.

Color me intrigued.

If only this was on anything but XBLA, I'd be happy.

It looks like Mr. Driller + Mario Bros 2, and a bit like that game Behemoth is working on. It also looks like a definite buy.

Sort of reminds me of Mr. Driller, which in this man's humble opinion, is a BAD thing. However, it looks like there's a lot more to it than just drilling downward, so I will keep my eye on this.

Didn't really care all too much about this game before I saw that trailer. I'm sold now.

Mr. Driller + racing == WIN. Sad it's not coming to PSN.

Also: can I have a 360 Go? The only 360 games I want to play are on XBLA...
