BattleBlock Theater, a 2D side scroller, is insane in every way. Not too many have heard of this game, and it's a shame. It cam from Behemoth, a game studio that has been around for several years, and it's their third official game. Now, these aren't retail games, but downloadable games that can be purchased from the comfort of your living room at $10-15. BattleBlock, however, is the craziest one yet for a few reasons, primarily the way the story is told.
The game hooks everyone in with it's insane action and lovely colors, the story would be expected to come second, but it nearly prevails. The game starts out with a crash land on a remote island populated by crazy cats. Your "king" figure is then captured by the cats and becomes possessed by the evil hat. That's all your given until you beat the different worlds. After each world is beaten, a new cutscene occurs revealing more and more. There isn't much I can say without spoiling, but one can imagine how amazing a story involving crazy felines would turn out.
As I said, this isn't too known to gamers, let alone the public. It was released solely on the Xbox 360's arcade as a digital only game, but it's phenomenal. Anyone who loves insanity, animation, or cats, should buy this game now, they won't regret it.
