Considering it is the 35th anniversary of the Castlevania franchise...what better way to celebrate than to do a massive retrospective on every mainline game ever released from Konami. From the NES 8-bit originals to the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, PS2, Xbox and beyond! Because Castlevania is retro gaming royalty and it's only fitting we pay it some tribute!

Last week I told you about how I was disappointed by Castlevania: Lament of Innocence...but this week I am back to tell you that Konami recovered with their second 3D entry on the PS2 with Castlevania: Curse of Darkness! It is a bigger, better and more Metroidvania style game in all aspects! Great 3D action platformer retro gaming goodness that makes up for the previous game in the series. Plus you actually get to fight Dracula in this one...always a plus!

After this Konami would never develop another console Castlevania ever again...moving development over to Mercury Steam / Kojima Productions on PS3/PS4/XBox 360 and Xbox One. End of an era!
