Just got a taste of the co-op.

Damn it's fun~ till I jumped on the painting before the stage 4 boss...

If I had a nickel. But his green spinning blades on Hard are the worst part. I managed to avoid them once.

God damn it, why just PS3. Why release the collectors edition on the console with no games?

I only have a 360.

The words before the article stated as much, Flame.

See? He just happened to link to a PS3 site.

[Flame]

So Europe gets a mask instead of the artbook?
I honestly dont know whether to be jealous or if I prefer the artbook...

Alright, I've never played a Castlevania before. Well, one but it was only not even the first stage. lol I need you smart people to tell me which on I should start with. ^^

[Flame]

The first one. the very first one.
or at least Castlevania 3.

Dunno. they're all pretty good- avoid the N64 ones, those were horrible- Lament of Innocence is pretty decent, Cant vouch for Curse of Darkness though, haven't played it...

The first one I played was Aria of Sorrow for the GBA. then from there I branched out to the others.

or hey, you could start with this one. After all, its a parallel from the rest of the series, so You dont need to really know anything going in.

[Blackhook]

Castlevania 1,3 or 4

[Satoryu]

Start with Chronicles. That way every game afterwards will be easy as [acid burst].

[Blackhook]

...You are thinking about Haunted House

[Satoryu]

After I just wrote it out of my memory, you had to dig that up. At least Chronicles is more fair than that monstrosity.

>Dave mentioned that the track "Belmont's Theme", which plays at several points in the game, will give longtime players chills when they hear it, as it's based off of Simon Belmont's music.
I wonder if these guys have played the other Castlevania games. Simon theme remakes aren't exactly the new hotness.

[Flame]

if by Belmont theme they mean Vampire killer, pfft, the Beginning is superior.

A non-believer! Get hi~ Oh! Yeah, just play the very first one. ^^;

Simon's Quest and Akumajou Remilia.

Simon's Quest and Akumajou Remilia.

-Touhou senses tingle- Kinda forgot about that one. |D Looks like I HAVE played a Castlevania(ish) game before. lol

[Flame]

Isnt Simon's quest usually considered the worst of the 2D vanias?

[Satoryu]

By the same people that hate Zelda 2. I.e., those who like them because they're different. And not very straightforward.

If anything the 64s might get more hate.

[Acid]

Achievements of Simon's Quest:

-Brought us Bloody Tears

-Was the first Metroidvania

*smack* learn to read. Seriously. "Skimming" doesn't excuse not reading the very first line of the two line post you're quoting.

if by Belmont theme they mean Vampire killer, pfft, the Beginning is superior.

... again, it's right there that it's based off of Simon's theme >_>

Simon's Theme meaning the first level music in Super Castlevania IV, which I don't really recall being used a whole lot anyway o.o

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

Aside from the second Castlevania metal album, I think Portrait of Ruin used it right?

Well it's Simon's theme. Not Everyone's theme.

[Blackhook]

Every Belmont has his own theme
