News and… Dracula’s SNES
Looking at the photos of this ridiculous custom SNES, I couldn’t figure out how/if the console worked underneath all of that intricate Castlevania goodness. After checking out the artist’s (Vadu Amka) in progress video though, I’m just wishing I could turn my console on using a skull. That should come standard in all consoles really. Digging… Continue reading
Mega Headlines: VR Whip Unity
I definitely think we’ll look back at this year’s GDC as the coming out party for Virtual Reality. Sony brought it, but then I wasted my snarky comments about Microsoft’s attempt to jump in because I never could have predicted the GameFace.

Hey! Watch! Serious Castlevania: Hymn of Blood Web Series
Nothing scares me more than the prospect of a Hollywood movie version of Castlevania. Granted I’m overprotective of the franchise, but I still think my fears are warranted. While the production of such a film thankfully continues to struggle into endless roadblocks, I never considered the prospect of a watchable web series. Web series restored… Continue reading

Death gets around. He’s not shy about making a cameo, cracking a joke, or just doing his duty. The concept of Death as a character has him surrounded by heavy doses of mystique and power. His job is simple but designing a video game around him is no small task as evidenced by the fact… Continue reading
Hey! Listen! Belmont by Mega Beardo, Castlevania Metal Concept Album
Standing apart from all of music of Castlevania and its various covers is no small feat. Mega Beardo has succeeded by going all out epic with a metal concept album, Belmont.

Characters That Games Forgot: Maria Renard of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Castlevania games usually put you in control of the most interesting character. You want to know what happens to Simon, Richter, Alucard, and sometimes Grant DaNasty. I have always wanted to know what happened to one of the worst voice acted characters in Castlevania history: Maria Renard from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I did… Continue reading
