Remember Castle Crashers, that old-school 2D action/RPG throwback released for XBOX Live and the Playstation Network sometime last year? If you do, then you might, like me, have wondered as you traversed its 2D universe whether the developers at Behemoth were required to take mind-altering hallucinogens as part of some new-age, creativity-fostering company policy. Cannon-shooting organs, river-dwelling cat-sharks that shoot hairballs the size of boulders - these aren't fabrications of a mind both clean and sober. Don't get me wrong, the strangeness works completely. Castle Crashers is still one of the best arcade-style games offered on any of the next generation consoles' online networks, even if it defies the laws of sanity. That's probably why it's so good.

Well, the mad scientists at Behemoth are at it again, this time with their third product to date, appropriately titled "Game #3." It looks like a puzzle game that apparently has players going through a series of levels to find a bunch of elusive diamonds. Not much has been revealed about the project yet, but Behemoth actually released a trailer for it back in March. I didn't hear about it until now, so I'm attaching it in case any of you members of the gaming faithful missed it as well. Look closely starting at 0:35 and you'll see what appears to me to be a tiny, playable Joseph Stalin.




Looks like something I'll want to get my hands on, especially if it keeps looking this zany. Here's to hoping Game #3 is as messed up as its predecessor.
