The Behemoth giving away free Castle Crashers ‘King Pack’ DLC codes

Castle Crashers’ first bit of downloadable content, the King Pack, is currently available on Xbox Live Marketplace for 160 Microsoft Space Dollars. It’s also available for free, until supplies last, at the official Castle Crashers message board if you care to enter a ridiculously simple contest.

As artist Dan Paladin recently wrote on the Behemoth development blog, all you’ve to do is click over to the Behemoth Cares about Me! forum thread and post the message “behemoth adores me!” After you do so, you might receive a private message from The Behemoth with a redeemable code for the content.

This has been made possible on The Behemoth’s dime. “We have always wanted our King Pack for Castle Crashers to be FREE. And it’s not!!,” wrote Dan Paladin. “So, in order to accomplish this we went ahead and purchased a ton of download codes from Microsoft for our King Pack to give to you. Yes!”

I’m on my way, Behemoth. Ready that code, Kelly.

Destructoid review: 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

Destructoid review: 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand screenshot

If the members of KISS can have their faces on a lunchbox, and Aerosmith has its name attached to multiple games, why not 50 Cent?

State what you’ll about his music, but Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson III should be recognized as a shrewd businessman. From music to movies, clothing to Vitamin Water, the man’s put his name and G-Unit “branding” on more than a few products. And then in 2005, Sierra published 50 Cent: Bulletproof, a third-person action shooter that was received as mediocre by most critics and gamers alike.

Dante’s Inferno trailer is not what we expected the book to look like

OK, so let’s clear things up. Dante’s Inferno is Electronic Arts’ third-person action title that will be loosely-based on a portion of Dante Aligheri’s poem, The Divine Comedy.
