   Count Dracula (his first name is never given Bram Stoker's 1897 novel) is a centuries-old vampire, sorcerer and Transylvanian nobleman, who claims to be a Székely descended from Attila the Hun. He inhabits a decaying castle in the Carpathian Mountains near the Borgo Pass. Read more

   A fine remake of a fine game packaged with both its fine precursor and its precursor's fine sequel. And that's just fine! Read more

   For non-hardcore Castlevania fans though, The Dracula X Chronicles will be too difficult to get into. Would it have been too much to ask for an easy difficulty setting? It's a shame - the game is certainly rewarding and fun if you can get into it. Unfortunately we can't see the average gamer having the patience to do just that. Read more

   I’m sure you’ve all heard about that famous game - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night . It was first in the series to really make a dent in the market. It borrowed the concepts of exploration and self-discovery from Nintendo’s Super Metroid and fused them together with good ol’ vampire whipping. Needless to say, it was an unprecedented success and it is widely regarded as one of the best games ever made. Read more

   The Dracula X Chronicles is a must-buy in every sense of the phrase. A high challenge level, two games for the price of one and some very rewarding unlockables make this one of the best PSP games to date. It, along with Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow and Silent Hill: Origins make up the holy trifecta of fall 2007’s best PSP games. If you’ve ever enjoyed a Castlevania game before or you’re as sick as I am with games that are way too easy, give this a try. You’ll... Read more

   Fans of recent Castlevania's should be wary - as Rondo of Blood follows the traditional Castlevania style. This means a balls to the wall arcade/action platformer; filled with sometimes impossible seeming challenges and the rather awful jump control earlier Castlevania's were known for. Past all this however, is a 2D haven for purists of the genre - a "they don't make em like this anymore" type of experience. For those players more interested in the Metroidvania stylings...

   The Castlevania series is one of the longest running side-scrolling action/adventure series and has been found on a number of home consoles.  I played the first game in the series on the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) when it was ... Read more

   An accurate translation and graphical update of the most coveted CASTLEVANIA import ("Rondo of Blood" for the PC-Engine), DRACULA X CHRONICLES retains that old-school CASTLEVANIA feel, predating the METROID-esque exploration and secrets.  The focus here is instead on classic whip action, complete with the stiff-feeling controls that feel natural over time and the punishing difficulty that rewards patience and perserverence.  The pseudo 3-D facelift is lovely, adding...
