Brutal Legend Halloween costumes

If you dressed up as something Brutal Legend-related this Halloween, be sure to get it posted on the Brutal Legend Facebook wall pronto! There are 10 Eddie Riggs statues up for grabs, going to those with the best costumes. Those are some pretty insane odds if you meet the criteria!

Check out the gallery thus far, for which entries can be submitted until November 6th. The guy to the right is my favourite — great likeness!

Find out everything ever about the Brütal Bus

Although the Brütal Bus’s thunderous victory is now just a memory, its awesomeness will live on through an in-depth making-of article on Destructoid that reveals how it was put together.

The article features loads of fantastic photos — including some from the race — videos, and Tim Schafer himself sitting in the bus! There’s also a tantalising teaser of an upcoming project at the end.

First add-on DLC for Brutal Legend next week

Less than a month after release, the first add-on DLC for Brutal Legend will be hitting Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network next week respectively on November 3rd and November 5th.

Titled ‘Tears of the Hextadon’, the DLC includes two multiplayer maps and the ‘Blade of Ormagoden’ axe. In Tim Schafer’s words:

“Circle of Tears is named after the crying of my vanquished foes on the battlefield, and Death’s Fjord is obviously a tribute to my Nordic ancestors, and their love of fan geysers and… Well, actually I just thought the name was cool.”

Interestingly, Sony seems to have netted itself some kind of deal because PlayStation Network buyers can get the DLC for free until November 19th, after which it becomes $5/£3.99. Xbox LIVE Arcade buyers will pay 400 Microsoft Points regardless.

I personally hope we see some single-player DLC shortly!

Ormagoden pumpkin turns Halloween up to 11

With Halloween just several days away, I hope at least some of you are planning something related to Brutal Legend! Take TickleMeFetus as your inspiration, who has taken professional pumpkin customisation to a whole new level of brutality.

Double Fine developers on Xbox LIVE tomorrow

If you’ve been after the elusive ‘Six Degrees of Schafer’ achievement or perhaps you just want to see how your skills compare to the guys who made the game, you’ll definitely want to be on Xbox LIVE tomorrow evening as a load of Brutal Legend developers are kicking ass and taking names.

The festivities begin at 5pm PST and end at 9pm on October 28th. The developers have kindly provided their Xbox LIVE gamertags for immediate harassment:
