Abstract: I wasn't sure what Mercury Steam was going to do with the Castlevania license, I had given one of their previous games, Jericho, a good try but ended up really not liking it. So I wasn't entirely enthused to learn they'd be behind the new 3D CV outing ...
Abstract: I was ground zero for the Lords of Shadow reveal earlier this year at a Konami press event, and although it would be easy for any game to stand out amongst downright embarrassing competition such as Ninety-Nine Nights 2, Ben 10, and Def Jam Rapstar, a...
Abstract: The legendary vampire killer is back.Being a child of the 90s, I grew up with classic games that I hold near and dear to my heart. One of those game series was Castlevania. Being a vampire hunter was just plain awesome. The adult tone and gothic presen...

Fixed camera creates a few problems, Some puzzles seem forced and aren't enjoyable, Just about everything in the game is derivative, Story loses focus on important characters.
Entertaining highs and frustrating lows punctuate a Castlevania game that--in an effort to redefine the series--loses its identity....
Abstract: Published April 28th 2011. Written by Daniel Cairns. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (developed under the watchful eye of editor’s nightmare Hideo Kojima) eschews the autism-inducing Metroidvania template of recent Castlevania games, and opts instead for ...
