Castlevania: Lords of Win

Homie don't play, 2010 is a serious year for games (okay I didn't mean that, homie I'm telling you, you gotta play! Bad joke.) Anyway, you probably thought I was gonna sit here and list a bunch of big releases - nah! go do your own research. But what took me by surprise last year was the announcement of a new Castlevania game in the works with Kojima Productions (YES you heard right - 'Kojima EPIC Productions',) Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for a next-gen release sometime in 2010, and it's shaping up to be totally awesome! Check out the trailer below:



they're saying that it will take the series in a new [ehem God of War-type cough cough] direction. Not that I mind it really, its about time that Konami changes the formula a little to keep things exciting like they did with Symphony of the Night. And speaking of which, they're saying this Castlevania will feature the return of everybody's favorite half-man, half-vampire - Alucard! Well, so far the story revolves around Gabriel Belmont and his quest to revive his deceased wife (man the womenfolk of the Belmont clan have been having a rough few centuries haven't they?) Anyways, we wouldn't have it any other way because that usually translates into badass, pissed-off protagonists who do lots of cool things with a whip (no, not of that nature, but of the 'Vampire Killer' kind.) And if that doesn't really convey the science of win to you then who cares. This is Castlevania, and it's just an awesome series so stay tuned for this one kiddies. Who knows, they might even win over some Twilight fangirls with this one!
