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.

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.
