Can you guess when they'll hit the one million mark?

That's what the developer is asking fans in the latest blog posting over at The Behemoth Blog, where they've been keeping an eye on the number of players showing up on the Castle Crashers leaderboards. With 900,000 players crashing in the eight months following the game's release, they're asking players to post their guesses as to when they'll reach the big one million. The closest guess in their forums come the big day will win...something.

I'm not sure yet what the prize will be for this.. but rest assured. it will be awesome, nay…SPECTACULAR! if there are lots of close entries, we will award lots of cool prizes.

It's not every day you get a chance to win something vaguely spectacular! Check out the blog posting at the link below to find out how this spectacular thing can be yours.

<![CDATA[Twilight Princess Sells a Million]]>

In a press release from Nintendo, comes the news that the Wii version of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has just marked one million sales. Note that we are talking units sold, games in the hands of gamers, not units shipped, as some companies like to wave around like it means something. According to the release, Twilight Princess has now garnered the coveted position of "the fastest-selling launch title for any new video game system since Super Mario 64 for Nintendo 64 some 10 years ago." pretty impressive considering this isn't even including the Gamecube version sales.

Just goes to show you what the power of a really strong 21 year old franchise can do. Go team Zelda!
