From the article, "Okay, so Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate was released on the 3DS today, but maybe you’re not a fan of the new direction Konami’s taken with the series. That’s okay, because there are other Castlevania alternatives available. You don’t have to go with the new hotness. You can tap into a reservoir of multiple installments so if someone asks if you’re playing Castlevania on your 3DS, you can proudly answer, “Yes, I am!”"
"We’re far from adverse to some classic vamp killing here at 3DSTribe but Castlevania The Adventure simply finds itself lacking in some key areas. Notably ‘clever design’ and ‘length’. Classic Castlevania is often far better than this."
