Review: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

When Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was announced, fans didn't know what to expect. The newest in a long line of titles was touted as a reboot for the series, and seemed to draw heavily from God of War, Prince of Persia, and even Shadow of the Colossus. Is this a true sequel to the fantastic Castlevania games of old? Did MercurySteam and Kojima Productions do the series justice?

Review: Castlevania: Harmony of Despair

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair is a game completely geared towards the Castlevania fan. Everything from the combat, to the enemies you face, and even the setting should be instantly familiar to those who have played other Castlevania games. Adding to this idea is the lack of information given to you on how to play the game. Those who aren’t familiar with the franchise should proceed with caution. With that said, this title gives the loyal fans a new way to experience the franchise with excellent online co-op and a strangely addicting grinding system.

E3 ’10: Hands-On with Castlevania: Harmony of Despair

While waiting in line to play Limbo, the Xbox Live game based around what I can only assume is repeated suicide, I happened to see a new downloadable Castlevania game out of the corner of my eye. As there was a free station and I hate waiting in lines, I quickly changed my position and dove into the game for a good bit of time. Not only was I pleasantly surprised, but despite not even getting the full measure of the game during my time, I’m nearly dead-set on a day one purchase. The game is Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, is an Xbox Live only downloadable title, and features an eclectic mix of classic platforming and co-op puzzle action.

E3 ’10: Hands On with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Konami's booth had a variety of games to show off, and even a rapper or two to entertain the masses, but for me the center of that stage was the playable Castlevania: Lords of Shadow demo. Lords of Shadow represents the first next-generation foray for the venerable series, and as such, has quite a load of responsibility to bear. Fans have been unhappy with previous 3D installations, and even yet balk at any attempts to move a side-scrolling adventure in to the realm of rotating cameras.
