Castlevania
Transylvania is threatened once more. Dracula has returned.

Carla and I stopped by Circuit City tonight to pick up Buffy Season 1 on DVD and they had the newest Castlevania game in, "Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance." So, I picked it up. It's good so far. It doesn't seem as challenging as the last one and the action seems a little slower, but the graphics are a lot better and this one allows you to save anywhere which is a big plus.

Like "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" and "Castlevania: Circle of the Moon," this new game mixes elements of console RPGs (such as leveling up your character and equipping items), the exploration-style gameplay of the Metroid games and classic Castlevania action. Symphony of the Night is probably my favorite video game ever, so there was little doubt I would like this game.

Now, if they would just come out with a 2D Castlevania game for the Playstation 2....
