After reconquering Dracula X Chronicles (along with Rondo and the 'director's cut' of SotN) during the past couple weeks, I'm currently battling my way through CotM. I love the atmosphere of the game - like SotN had a baby with Super Castlevania IV. The Underground Gallery and Underground Warehouse both seem straight out of the latter. The gallery in particular had some nice detailing. I still have no idea if that's rust or something worse leaking out from those ram's heads mounted along the walls. Also, the Machine Tower is still the best clock tower since the old games, outclassed perhaps only by OoE's stage. The boss fights are still...well, boss. The Zombie Dragons, Necromancer, Adramelech, and Dracula's second form are tops.
Still, I wish some of the smaller areas had their own theme as Sinking Old Sanctuary gets old really quick. I wish Vampire Killer was used for a different area though instead of the largest stage in the game, or Sotaro Tojima should've looked towards the longer variant from the X68k game instead of Super Castlevania IV's. I generally like all the remixes, even its underrated version of Dance of Illusions. I just wish there were more original compositions, because they were all excellent.

LoS2 ^^ Tring to get the last achievements (already got the 110% and 100% in Revelations :))
-
OoE at the moment because I had a hankering.
-
OoE and PoR.
-
Castlevania Adventures Rebirth, Castlevania 3 Dracula's Curse and Castlevania the Lecarde Chronicles(fangame)
-
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! ;D
-
Been perfecting my CV Legends skills. Finally beat it on one life for the first time, with a Hit Score of 594. Besides that, been trying to get the best ending on Dracula X for the second time. Haven't done it in over 8 years.
-
Harmony of Dissonance, the most metroidvania out of all metroidvanias. Strangely underappreciated. Hokkai's music is atmospheric tunes done right. Also has more variety than usual between areas. Room of Illusions and the Sky Walkway are great.
-
Bloodlines. For some obscure reason, it's the only main CV installment I'd never played before.
-
Chronicles (original game) and Bloodlines are the last two difficult games i have yet to master. I alternate between them and smash through on of the other titles whenever the mood strikes me.
-
Castlevania NES is the most recent one I've played.
-
In the past weeks, I played the GBA Castlevanias, beggining with AoS, then HoD, and finally CoTM. I really enjoy that one, because I played in a bright screen (CoTM was my first GBA game with my first edition purple GBA :P).
I try to pass the new stage in DXC, but I can simply get to the boss!!! I need more practice. Oh, and I played also the Boss Rush in that game :).
-
Because of the PS3 I recently received, I decided to give LoS a try. I do have a few complaints (1 - I now know I pretty much hate QTEs; 2 - Stop switching my camera view around! I don't need all these dynamic perspectives!; 3 - While I don't mind having to explore a little, and while I know I'm not the most observant person...some of the paths I'm supposed to take seem a bit too obscure.)...but otherwise, I have genuinely enjoyed the game.
-
I beat Adventure Rebirth and LoI a few weeks ago and I must say they're both a lot of fun. It's been awhile since I've played them and I enjoyed them lots. I also had a girl over here who wanted to watch me play RoB. I couldn't say no to that so I beat that one too.
-
I'm playing chronicles/x68000.
-
I'm having a Castlevaniathon, planning to play through all pre-SotN titles (for home consoles, no HC) on their original machine. I previously have only beaten several games on emulation. My small collection still lacks Bloodlines - and I can't run it yet as I only have a japanese Mega Drive and the japanese Vampire Killer game is upwards of $300 by now. I am still waiting for my copy of DXX for SNES (strangely enough, here the US version is far more expensive).
Right now I am on the second loop of SCIV, which shouldn't take much longer seeing how easy this game is even on the second quest. I also am working on Belmont's Revenge, still stuck on the domestic violence boss. And I'm on the final stage of Rondo on PSP.
-
Simon's Quest so I can stop playing bad Castlevania games and start replaying good ones again.
-
Super Castlevania IV & SOTN. Eating some of the best for my Castlevania fix.
-
Other than LoS2, I'm playing a linked session of Castlevania, Simon's Quest, and Super Castlevania IV on Wii U. Whenever I take damage in one game, I close that game and start the next game. Wii U is kind enough to remember I left off, so I can just cycle through them that way.
