While there’s always plenty of news to go around, sometimes there’s information that’s just not quite enough to fulfill the requirements of a full article. So today, I thought I’d give you a round-up of many little bits of information floating around the gaming universe that may be of interest… Alice: Madness Returns A sequel to creepy cult PC title American McGee’s Alice, Alice: Madness Returns is an upcoming sequel set in the world of Alice in Wonderland – albeit [...]
It’s been a little while since the excellent Castlevania: Lords of Shadow was released, and there have been words of DLC floating around for a little while, with no real solid information. Well that’s all now changed – as we can proudly announce some real info on what players should expect.
While it’s always good to be up to date with the latest games, sometimes gaming can be quite a financial burden – with new games costing around £40 a pop, it’s easy to get swamped when trying to keep up with all of the new releases. But for when £40 seems like a little too much, that doesn’t mean you need to stop gaming. There are a number of gems out there, all just waiting to be played for under [...]
The epic clash between the Belmont Clan and Dracula is amongst my favourite plotlines in gaming. It’s not complicated, it doesn’t pretend to be more than it is – at its very core, Castlevania is about the struggle between light and dark, good and evil, with plenty of monsters to slay along the way. Given that the name ‘Castlevania’ itself refers to Dracula’s castle, Lords of Shadow isn’t really about the castle at all. Being a reboot for the series, you can probably [...]
When the news came to my ears that a brand new 2D Castlevania for an actual home console was on the way, my heart leapt – aside from a couple of ports and remakes of classic titles it’s been two years since the somewhat disappointing Order of Ecclesia on the DS, and a whopping thirteen years since the last release of a non-remake 2D ‘vania on a home console – Symphony of the Night. While the GBA and DS titles [...]
Like many gamers of the current generation, I grew up playing games on the earlier consoles such as the Sega Mega Drive and the Super Nintendo. Those were the days that really got me hooked on gaming, and the vast majority of them were 2D, often platformers - such as Sonic, Mario, Megaman, Metroid, Castlevania, Strider or Gunstar Heroes. Although many of these games still have incarnations nowadays, things have changed. Losing their 2D roots, most of these have converted to 3D formats [...]
I’ve been a fan of Castlevania since I first played Symphony of the Night on the PS1 – since then I’ve been a collector of Castlevania games and amassed a collection of more than ten ‘vania titles. Therefore, when I saw a copy of Castlevania: Judgment on the Wii, I couldn’t resist. Not unlike Final Fantasy: Dissidia which I have been playing recently, Castlevania: Judgment plucks various characters from the Castlevania series and pits them against each other for a [...]
Although I do play a wide range of games and try to keep an open minded view towards new concepts and titles, there will always be some games that have a special place in my heart – one of them being Castlevania. The straightforward tale of the epic struggle between the Belmont clan and the infamous Lord Dracula, that is so simple yet so spellbindingly fantastic. A tale that spans hundreds of years, Dracula always finds a way to return [...]

I have breifly touched on this subject in a previouse post. Just to recap, when it comes to role playing games there are only a few that really get me hooked and i play through to the end. I love rpg games but in my opinion there are not many out there that keep me entertained for long enough to f
