Castle Crashers is one of the best games ever made. There, I said it. The team behind it, Behemoth, has kept its newest game under wraps for a while. Some gameplay has been shown, as well as plenty of screenshots.
But the game never had an official title. Earlier this week, it was announced that the developer's third game will be called BattleBlock Theater. Check it out:

Video games have obviously become mega profitable this century. But the hottest market in gaming may be paying for downloadable games.
The Xbox Live Arcade is the most popular means of game downloading. Last year, according to research group Forecasting and Analysing Digital Entertainment (FADE), XBLA generated $103.4 million of revenue for 2009. That is a 34-percent spike from 2008.
FADE’s complete top ten for estimated XBLA sales in 2009:
* Battlefield 1943 (EA Dice) – $12.5 million ($15.00)
* Castle Crashers (The Behemoth) – $7.3 million ($15.00)
* Trials HD (RedLynx, LTD) – $7.1 million ($15.00)
* Shadow Complex (Chair Entertainment / Epic Games) – $6.1 million ($14.38)
* Family Game Night (Hasbro) – $4.2 million ($9.53)
* Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (Capcom) – $4.2 million ($15.00)
* Magic: The Gathering (Stainless Games) – $2.8 million ($10.00)
* Worms 2 (Team 17) – $1.8 million ($10.00)
* Peggle (PopCap Games) – $1.8 million ($8.86)
* Turtles in Time: Reshelled (Ubisoft Singapore) – $1.7 million ($10.00)
This trend should only continue to grow. Personally, I own five of those. And as a casual to regular gamer, that speaks volumes about the success of downloading games.

How hard is the upcoming MLB 2K10 supposed to be? Well, whoever pitches the first perfect game wins $1 million.
"I would be shocked if someone doesn't get it," Chris Snyder, 2K Sports' director of marketing, told Kotaku. "It's very doable. It's been budgeted for. It's in an escrow account, and we're fully expecting to pay it."
Check out more on this on the official 2KSports Web site dedicated to the challenge.
This game comes out March 2 on every modern console available. Except the Wii, which can't handle modern sports games.

The fast-paced, elbow-throwing, 2-on-2 basketball classic NBA Jam is finally making its inevitable comeback.
Electronic Arts announced that the classic arcade hit, debuted in 1993, will be revived on the Nintendo Wii this year.
"NBA Jam is one of the most recognizable franchises in video game history," said EA Sports president Peter Moore in a press release. "Diehard fans of the original game have been asking for a remake for more than a decade. We're very excited to give them their wish this year with the return of this iconic franchise."
Players can still become "en fuego," so this will be awesome. Players can still jump 15 feet in the air. Here's a full list of game features from Crave Online:
Fire
Shattering Backboard
Cheats
Flashing Shoes
Flashing ball
Big Head Mode
Legends
Playable Mascots
Secret Characters
There are rumors that the game will also come out on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, but that are unsubstantiated.
Just because, here's a pretty great video from the original:
