Oh man, a new Castlevania with THAT level of art design and arcade-style gameplay? Sign me up!

Something like this needs to be talked about more and more. That way somebody can plant the notion in Konami and Vanillaware's heads and get them talking. A game like such would be a hit.

Retroman3582d ago (Edited 3582d ago )

yes, Castlevania, Contra , R-type ,Gradius, Gauntlet,Champion of Norreth be instant hit on all 3 consoles .

Vanillaware needs to make another Dragon's Crown, minus the over excessive boobs. heh. In fact they could make another game LIKE Dragon's Crown with Ninjas, Samurai, and all sorts of jobs that you can play online with others.

They do make the best 2d side scroller fighters, with Dragon's Crown the greatest 2d side scroll figher of all time.

The 7 Best Vampire Games: Embrace the Night

Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.

SimpleSlave19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.

A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.

The_Hooligan19d ago

IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.

SimpleSlave19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.

But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.

But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.

Thats the best Vampire game ever, but enough talk, have at you!.

Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

I've lost all hype for Bloodlines 2. It's going to be an action game.

Barlos19d ago

No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.

Relientk7719d ago

I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.

A Critic's Guide to Game Design By Inspiration

Inspiration is a big part of the game industry, but if a game is inspired by another does it cheapen the experience? CGM's Jordan Biordi tries to examine the concept.
