Dec 15, 2008

On December 26th, the healing process can finally begin. Many will make their yearly pilgrimage to crowded malls in order to return all the unwanted presents they politely pretended to like the day before.

Castlevania Judgment (Review)

Dec 10, 2008

When you first fire up your copy of Castlevania: Judgment – if you’ve been perverse enough to buy it after reading all we’re about to say about this ill-advised brawler – you’ll find there’s hardly anything to do.

SkeleTONS: nearly every bony bastard in the gaming universe (Feature)

Oct 31, 2008

A few months ago we had this idea to make a “Skeletons of Street Fighter” feature. Street Fighter IV hype was asploding across the webs (GamesRadar included) and we felt there was no better time to excuse a barrage of boney bastards across the site.

Then we thought, “why stop with Street Fighter?” There’ve got to be a billion goddam skeletons creeping through virtual graveyards just begging to have their toothy visage slapped on the immortal internet. Who are we to deny them such a privilege? So, without further yammering, we present, just in time for Halloween (y Dia de los Muertos), the biggest batch of skelleys you’ve ever seen... ...

Castlevania Judgment (Preview)

Sep 2, 2008

You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time, or so the saying goes. Well, it’s certainly hard to please Castlevania’s legions of bloodthirsty fans, who demand consistency and innovation in equal measures – a nigh-on impossible task. ...

Castlevania Wii Fighter: A Stake Through The Heart of Koji Igarashi (News)

Jul 24, 2008

Ripten writes:

"Castlevania gamers rejoiced when a new installment in the popular series was announced at this year's E3. Fans then became less enthused when they learned that instead of a traditional action-adventure title like those the series is known for, the new Castlevania is going be a fighter for the Nintendo Wii.

In a recent interview with current Castlevania series producer Koji Igarashi, Wired questioned the man on this bizarre transition, and his answers were a little worrying."

Konami Shows Off New Castlevania Titles (News)

Jul 17, 2008

"The only details we got on Order of Ecclesia were in trailer form, showing off a hero whipping and slashing hordes of skeletons, zombies, and Frankenstein's Monster. This looks to be a complete return to traditional Castlevania, with side-scrolling monster hunting galore.

More time was spent on Castlevania Judgment, a Wii exclusive that you aren't supposed to call a fighter. The producers are terming the title a "3D versus action" game, which basically means you can fight in all dimensions. Considering there are two characters onscreen replete with health bars, a timer, and special attack meters, this one has all the earmarks of a fighter. But hey, six of one, half-a-dozen of the other."
