How did those sites review Lords of Shadow? I have avoided the CV dudgeon forum as to avoid spoilers... yeah I know its just a CV game... but I am a big big sucker for castlevania and love the lore and every games take on things and putting it all together etc- so I think I will enjoy it just because of its sheer story content... I have an odd thing about comparing differing versions of stuff and how each one can bring a different take on things- ex: the many many lyrics of "Phantom of the opera" the phantom of the opera song- there are about 3-5 different versions with some adding or subtracting a verse, and even words that change the entire contrasting relationship between Christine and Erick....the same with Dracula in the IGA CV timeline- imo after SoTN drac does not want to come back, I believe (sans 1999 as its not explained) all his returns are summons/forced not a natural resurrection... but I digress.
I heard the new Dragons Dogma xpac is rocking and getting everyone jazzed for 2-- and yeah...I fully expect a standard metrosexual FF game with a 3ish member party... I miss that from FF4 having 5 people in your party...4 is like minimum to me... but I would love to be proved totally wrong and get an announcement for a wonderful high fantasy game from squeenix.
edit: my oddness is also for some reason why I love Zone of the Enders and have watched all the animes and replayed 1 and 2 many times... that and its a damn well made game- the HD remakes are even more...yummy.
