On January 12th, 2010, Haiti suffered a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. In the following days, The United States Geological Survey recorded a series of at least 33 aftershocks, 14 of which were anywhere between magnitudes 5.0 and 5.9. Needless to say, everyone and their mothers are pitching in to help Haiti through this miserable tragedy. Those looking to donate can do so to any number of charities but our favorite independent game company The Behemoth will do you one better.

From right this second until Sunday, January 24th (’cause you know they can’t do this all week), The Behemoth is donating 200% of their Xbox Live Arcade profits to the Haiti relief fund. That means that not only will they be donating every ounce of profit made from the sales of their top-rated XBLA game Castle Crashers, the King and Necromantic DLC packs and their insta-hit Alien Hominid HD but the team at The Behemoth has also promised to match all profits made to better aid Haiti in their time of need.

So, if you planned on donating to those in need anyway, why not get two of the coolest Xbox Live Arcade games in the process?
