Link Castlevania Judgement to the DS for Exciting Party Times

We already know that the very concept behind Castlevania Judgement is abhorrent and nobody likes it. At this point though, we may as well shrug and accept that this is coming. If you still can’t get excited about party times, maybe it’ll cheer you up to hear that Koji Igarashi has revealed some of Castlevania […]

Castlevania: Order Of—Holy Crap, It’s Out Soon

Here we have some delicious media for Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Which, as it so happens, is out quite soon. October of 2008. Where the hell have I been? God, you’d think I was working or engaging in some other manner of time-wasting fuckery.

Now that you’ve seen Shanoa execute impressive attacks whilst clad in high […]

Lifesigns Manga Cretor: Acute Anime Overdose

You deserve a break today. Go ahead and play with the Lifesigns Manga Creator.
I never played Lifesigns: Hospital Affairs for the Nintendo DS. You probably didn’t, either. Lifesigns re-defined simulator games in its native Japan, but it was dismissed as a Trauma Center also-ran in America.

The (Live Action) Castlevania Movie Is Going to be Horrific

I forgot that the seriously rad bits about E3 don’t usually crop up on the first day…except when they do. Still, while there’s been a bit of portable news (Sim Animals–I’m going to make a rhino/lemur hybrid. You can’t tell me otherwise, and neither can EA), the Big Three pulled down their pants and compared […]

Suikoden VI “News” Proves Konami Teases Dogs, Pushes Old Ladies

According to PSPFanboy.com, Suikoden VI for the PSP existed for a short, brilliant time…then vanished just as quickly.
This is probably the cruelest thing to happen since Lucca Blight made one of his subjects crawl through the dirt before slaughtering him.

Metal Gear Solid for the Wee

Part five of GameTrailers’ excellent Metal Gear Solid retrospective covers the little bits that are easily overlooked: the handheld games for the Game Boy Color and PSP.
As for me, this weekend has been a marathon of turning my computers on and off. Endless thunderstorms, don’tcha know.

Nintendo Power Then (Awesome) and Now (Awesome)

So where from does that picture of Trevor Belmont hail? I scanned it from an old issue of Nintendo Power for nostalgia purposes.
(I also scanned it so you can all see the monstrous package that fathered the famed vampire-hunting clan, because wow, Nintendo.)
Nintendo Power is a holdover from those near-ancient halcyon days when 8 bits […]

Castlevania: Order Of Ecclesia Montage Video

Konami became so overwhelmed with new media for Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia that it decided…
It’s gonna need a montage. o/~
Even Rocky had a montage. o/~
It’s a treat to watch Order of Ecclesia in motion. Every time I think the DS has been pushed to its graphical limit, someone surprises me. See, these are the kinds […]

Move Yo’ Butt With Let’s Yoga!

I wrote a long and sprawling feature article for What They Play, a completely excellent gaming site geared towards parents. The article is called “Healthy Balance,” and it looks at the rising problem of child obesity—and debunks the popular reasons why video games shoulder the blame.

The Belmonts Will Live Forever

…Or at least the famous bloodline of vampire hunters will live as long as their caretaker, Koji Igarashi.
According to a recent discussion the developer had with MTV Multiplayer, Castelvania games like the recently-announced Order of Ecclesia will keep on coming.
““I definitely have a passion for the franchise. I mean, I’m definitely excited to do each […]
