Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

The Belmont clan has a long history of hunting both demons and Draculas with fiery whips or cursed crosses, and so does our own Matt Cabral. With that in mind, it's hardly surprising that Matt rose to the challenge posed by Castlevania: Lords of Shadow in our latest set of impressions from the Kojima-developed, 3D action title.

"Co-developed by MercurySteam and Kojima Productions, LoS is Konami’s latest attempt to bring the series -- previously defined by its classic 2D entries -- into the third dimension. It’s a full-on, current-gen, console-pushing, third-person action/adventure in the vein of 3D juggernaut God of War. So anyone expecting to side-scroll through static backdrops while dodging floating Medusa heads are in for a surprise."

Grab your garlic and your bottle of holy water before vanquishing our preview of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow right here.

    I will bet any money that from that screenshot alone, at least 2/3 of the people who read this article are going to say either "OMG they are sooooo ripping off God Of War" or "Wow. this is such a God of War copy"

    case in point - gtamaster503

    I'm still frantic about this game. This game is under development by Mercurysteam. The one that made Jericho...Jericho! This may be my first rant or anything of hate against a developer/game but this is something I didn't want to see. At the E3 Demo the right analog stick did nothing. No camera angle, no dodging or anything.

    Don't get me wrong, I love Castlevania and will always be a fan of this franchise for as long as it goes. My worries just lie with the title being handled by such developers that have done some terrible jobs in the past.

    why are all reviews for games that are for both ps3 and xbox get filed under xbox games even though it clearly states that the game was being played on the ps3?

    This is looking like it could be a real sleeper. The more I see of it lately the more it impresses me.
