This weekend marks the exciting return of the excellent Castlevania series over on Netflix. After several incredible seasons, everything has been leading up to what promises to be an epic conclusion. To help celebrate one of the best video game adaptations of all time, we're going to spend two days counting down Electronic Gaming Monthly's best and worst reviewed Castlevania games. From the questionable 3D entries to the black and white sequels to the installments that defined an entire genre, we're going to cover every Castlevania game reviewed between 1989 and 2009.
This is part one of a special two-day celebration of Belmonts, bats and bloodlines. We're going to cover the ten worst-reviewed Castlevania games today, followed tomorrow by a look at Electronic Gaming Monthly's top 10 best-reviewed games in the long-running franchise. I want you to grab your whip and holy water, because today we're going to be counting down Castlevania's lowest-scoring games. Warning: A lot of vampires were harmed in the making of this episode.
