343 and Certain Affinity talk blockers, Banshees and play-testing.
Halo 4's first DLC map pack Crimson failed to wow the battle-hardened faithful, but the following Majestic pack was aptly titled indeed - a wickedly laid-out trio of small-to-medium infantry engagements, with Promethean shrine Monolith stealing the gold medal spot. Next week 343 and Microsoft will release the Castle pack (on 9th April, to be precise), which comprises three more maps built for vehicle play. Good news indeed, if you find vanilla Halo 4 a little claustrophobic at times.

Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers developers The Behemoth are back after a five year absence with their third Xbox Live Arcade Title, BattleBlock Theater. The game stars a group of friends shipwrecked on a mysterious island, captured by the local inhabitants and forced by their former best friend to one and all Hatty Hattington, to participate in deadly performances for the amusement of an army of technologically advanced cats its an absurdly entertaining story arc, encapsulating a high energy platform-puzzle game that had me laughing from the very first cutscene.

Destructoid: "If you absolutely positively hate platformers, I'm not so sure you'll enjoy BattleBlock Theater. Unlike Castle Crashers which had the benefit of the simplistic, pick up and play beat 'em up genre, you get more out of BattleBlock the more you're willing to put into it. Positive reinforcement is gained through skill and triumph rather than simply bashing things in mindlessly, so in that regard, the universal appeal is a bit lower than most of Behemoth's older titles. But as long as you're willing to give it a chance, you'll reap the rewards of a fairly deep, interesting game that was built with a lot of heart. I can't wait to see how Behemoth follows this up, and I hope it doesn't take five years to do it."

The makers of Castle Crashers put in a long overdue encore.
"Thinking outside the box" is something developers say a lot, but all too often in these recession-hit, creatively moribund times, the phrase translates to "new AI behaviours" or "Horde Mode 3.5". Enter Battleblock Theater, a deeply macabre and triumphant 2D platformer from Castle Crashers developer The Behemoth which does, in fact, think outside the box, despite being made almost entirely of the things.
