Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 (PC, PS3, 360)

Is that supposed to be Richter next to GabeDrac?

That tomb box is definitely worth the thousand years it will take the earth to digest it.

Shit looks tight.

Cox once again hints that Contra is up next on next gen consoles.

Hopefully Konami doesn't go back to fucking up Castlevania up with character design, level ups, hardware choices, etc.

[Chux]

I'd like a few throwback games. Good level design point A to point B, no levels, just powerups. Then they can go back to SOTN.

[FirstBlood]

I hope they go back.

Has that collector's edition been confirmed for NA yet? I'm not feeling the figures but I want the rest.

Also, did any of you guys play the LoS2 demo that came with Mirror of Fate HD?

[Korly]

No. Did you?

[Shin Kazama]

I did. I liked it a lot actually. Especially the new gameplay elements. Life steal and guard crush are gonna bring some depth to the combat system this time around I think. Platforming was also fun and definitely more reminiscent of older, 2D Castlevania games than it was in the first LoS. There were some Symphony of the Night references thrown in there too, though I kinda hope they're re-recorded by the time the final game comes out; I thought they could have been spoken with a little more... I dunno, passion, for lack of a better word. You'll see what I mean if you play the demo. Gabriel/Dracula's voice is really good overall, however. The demo was pretty short, but I did like what music was there. I'm hyped.
