Abstract: Ever since the release of Castlevania in 1986, the Belmont family has been to Hell and back. Fans and critics alike were seriously disappointed with the most recent iteration -- Castlevania Judgment for the Nintendo Wii -- and all but abandoned the ser...
It may not be hugely original, or indeed faithful to the franchise but, with a deep combat system and some excellent boss battles, Lords of Shadow claims a place near the top of the action adventure list and is terrific value for money. ...
Abstract: I wasn't sure what Mercury Steam was going to do with the Castlevania license, I had given one of their previous games, Jericho, a good try but ended up really not liking it. So I wasn't entirely enthused to learn they'd be behind the new 3D CV outing ...

Abstract: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a game of contradictions. Its lead character, Gabriel Belmont, finds himself equipped with great combat abilities and more than enough special skills to combat the forces of evil and avenge the death of his love. But for...
It's a beautifullooking game, Core combat mechanics are great, Music and voice acting compliment the game well.
Fixed camera creates a few problems, Some puzzles seem forced and aren't enjoyable, Just about everything in the game is derivative, Story loses focus on important characters.
Entertaining highs and frustrating lows punctuate a Castlevania game that--in an effort to redefine the series--loses its identity....
