XBLA champ Castle Crashers expands

Crash Commando update on the way too.

Celebrated Xbox Live Arcade game Castle Crashers has expanded with new characters and weapons, as part of a mini-update released last night.

For 160 Microsoft Points (£1.36/€1.92) you can add a chainsaw, NG Skull Mace, Dragonhead orb and Necromancer and Cult Minion characters. Castle Crashers, a side-scrolling co-operative beat-'em-up, is made by Alien Hominid mastermind The Behemoth. It's jolly good, too, as our Castle Crashers review points out.

PSN game Crash Commando is also in-line for some new content on 27th August, according to the European PlayStation blog.

The update fixes some problems and adds six new characters split into three packs of two: Colonel Chaos and Army Chick, Nukem Ninja and Maid Mayhem, and Gangster Rapper and Reggae Rasta.
