This is not 2D - but 3D

and its full name is Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow - Mirror Of Fate, so probably a spin-off

Guess I should probably get to playing through the first LoS, huh?

I wanna know about the 3DS game though. Any details?

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Have to see it in motion, the screen on ********** look like crap - but it is too soon to judge for now.

From the original leak, this is supposed to be a bridge between LoS and LoS2. So, it is a sequel, but it's not the three-course meal sequel.

I've just realized I'm really going to miss Igavania, specially the neat art, because these steroid muscled guy thing is just horrible.

I'm just soooo glad they're putting so much emphasis on combat again... Seriously, there's more to Castlevania than its combat.

They can call this whatever they want, but Castlevania as I know it is dead.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Game looks terrible. Honestly, I'm not even going to give it a chance. I mean, most of us probably aren't, but I'm actually admitting it. I'm probably not missing out on anything.

Lords of Shadow had lovely art, I don't think you could really go after it for that, this one image aside.

I'd go after it because it was an extremely drug out, C-tier God of War clone that ran at 20 FPS.
