Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Julius Mode. It’s Dawn of Sorrow old school style.
Good stuff. Just jumping and whipping and slashing without any of those modern distractions like souls and potions and stuff.
I got stuck in a room under some of those icy blocks, though, so I turned it off.
I’m really not meant to be playing Castlevania still, need to play other games in the queue. But it’s just so good.

Castlevania Puzzle: Encore of the Night (iPhone)

Still thoroughly enjoying this. I’ve got thirty-three percent of the map uncovered now, but I suspect the two-thirds I’ve got left is going to take a lot longer to uncover. Had some trouble with a boss fight over the weekend, but it didn’t hold me up for long – I just had to make sure

What do you get if you cross Castlevania, Puzzle Quest and Puzzle Fighter? Yep, you get this game. (Okay, it’s not actually based on Puzzle Fighter. It’s based on a very similar Konami game nobody (i.e. me) has ever heard of.) It sounds like one of those terrible, terrible cash-ins that pop up on handheld

Hmm. Hmm. HMM. I’m not sure about this. Maybe this is where there Castlevania meets diminishing returns. It seems to be half made up of changes I’m not sure I like (complicated glyph attack system, small level maps travelled to on a top-down, no-gameplay world map, more talking than normal) and the same old gameplay,

I won’t bore you with the details. Online reviews will give all the details about what this release contains. Rondo… 2.5D… etc. What do I think about it all? Well, the main game is very hard. It’s good, but it’s harder than any modern Castlevania and, I think, harder than Super Castlevania IV. I’ve unlocked

Not an official Castlevania game, but a roguelike in a Castlevania skin. At first it was annoying because I kept dying really early, but then I discovered I should be attacking (a) with my weapon and not firing (f) my weapon. Then it was annoying because I kept falling into a lake from which there

Beat the boss who is me, got the Soul of Wolf, then died a long way into the Long Library, making me gah and gnash and turn the game off. I wasn’t enjoying it that much anyway. Any illness that can stop me enjoying Castlevania is evil. Evil!

Yes, I have the Playstation version. But it’s on a disc and therefore not the future, so I used some points to get the 360 version. (There’s also the fact that I have no idea where a Playstation memory card might be.) It’s just as I remember it… almost. I don’t remember the mirror-me being

The Creature nearly got me. Well, The Creature did get me. About twenty times, until I trekked back to the shop and got some potions. Now he’s dead.

Oh. It’s got to hard again now. I got one of Castlevania’s trademark fake endings, then worked out how to avoid stopping at that point. Now I’ve got to go through lots more paitnings, only this time their far too hard. It doesn’t help that I made a terrible mistake and sold half the really

After a long break I’ve come back to this refreshed and I’m finding it so much easier than I did before. Bosses have been dropping all over the place and I found a great new weapon called Nebula, that’s sort of a slow homing whip. Sort of. I still hate Medusa Heads though. Oh yes
