Microsoft's Summer of Arcade promotion delivered a long stretch of quality downloadable Xbox Live Arcade titles. From arcade shooters
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 and
Galaga Legions to platformers
Braid and
Bionic Commando: Rearmed, you won't find a dud in the bunch...and
Castle Crashers is a wonderful footnote to it all. It's a rollicking beat-em-up -- the rare multiplayer game that reclaims the "party game" moniker from the likes of
Rock Band and other peripheral-based releases.
