If youve got a PS3 or 360 and are old enough to appreciate the awesome 'Castlevania' titles from way back in the days of the NES and SNES, you need to pick up this game!

The visuals are amazing (almost on par with God Of War III) and the audio is also superb (Its pretty spooky playing it through 5.1 surround because you can hear voices behind you etc :D ).

Actually m8, Sony have nothing to do with the Castlevania series. Its Konami's baby and was originally on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) ;)

Here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania (tbh, whoever said they were originally for Sony systems were probably too young to know otherwise lol)

My personal favourites are -

Castlevania II - Simon's Quest (NES) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania_II:_Simon's_Quest
Super Castlevania IV (SNES) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Castlevania_IV
Castlevania - Symphony Of The Night (PS) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania:_Symphony_of_the_Night

and now

Castlevania - Lords Of Shadow (360/PS3)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlevania:_Lords_of_Shadow

For anyone thats a fan of the original titles. This statement made by a video games magazine is spot on: "Water Castlevania's roots and a rollicking adventure sprouts forth ... Lords Of Shadow feels like 16-bit design filtered through 20 years of innovation".

I have to say my favorites go like this.

Castlevania - Symphony Of The Night
Castlevania II
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence

I really enjoyed Lament of Innocence for the factor they did a great job at killing the hardship that was Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness. I did like Legacy of Darkness, but not a lot of reviewers did.. lol

1 more day! Woot!
