Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

Despite being 14 years later than most Castlevania fans would have liked, Konami has finally brought its classic PC Engine vampire hunter to the masses. Why it took this long to get new life outside of Japan is up for debate, but it was worth the wait. Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP reveals the entire story of Richter Belmont. Included on the disc are a 3D remake of Dracula X: Rondo of Blood, the original 16-bit version and the follow up masterpiece Symphony of the Night.

Symphony alone is worth the price of admission, but it must be unlocked in the remake. This is not a bad thing however as it gives you even more reason to play at least part of Rondo of Blood, which is the classic Castlevania formula at its finest. Whether you are a Castlevania fan or not, if you own a PSP, you need to check this out. With three great games packed into one disc, this should really be a no-brainer. Go get it and thank me later.

Movie of the Week 007

For this week's movie, I have selected Casino Royale, the newest installment in the James Bond franchise. The story takes place at the beginning of Bond's career as a 007 agent and shows a much darker side than we have seen before. With Daniel Craig stepping into the role for the first time, many people weren't sure what to expect ahead of it's release. But to the chagrin of many critic's he delivered above and beyond any expectations. My biggest gripe with this film was that it takes place in the post 9-11 era despite being a prequel to all the other films. Overall I felt refreshed by the changes made to the series. I look forward to what will come next now that Daniel Craig has redefined the franchise.
