Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Hands-On

After playing the demo of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, it is a pleasure to say that after years of sub-par games sucking on the teet of a beloved franchise, Castlevania is fun again!

If you grew up with the NES, then you likely have fond memories of Simon Belmont fighting every iconic monster that you could think of- from Frankenstein to the Grim Reaper, and of course, Dracula. It was a good time for the franchise, and the name of Belmont was on a par to those of Link and Mario in terms of popularity. Unfortunately with each progressive game in the franchise, the fanbase dwindled a bit. By the time the PlayStation One came out, Castlevania had lost its shine. By the time of the PS2, it was all but forgotten. That should soon change.
