I'd like to add three more easter eggs

First:
that time when baba yaga teleports gabe to the titan graveyard
she makes a reference to "...contra..."
CONTRA - The IRATE Gamer NES Review

Second:
When Zobek first meets gabriel and talks about the prophecy to him.
"It is written" part is a reference to
Zelda CD-I: The Faces of Evil

Third:
The part where Gabe kills Pan and says
"What am I fighting for?" is a reference to Mega Man x4
WHAT AM IFIGHTING FOR!!!!!!!!

The second two are a bit of a stretch.

I'm almost certain it was unintentional, but the skulls embedded in the landscape of the last few chapters bring the old Konami famicom game Getsufuu Maden to mind.

note a easter egg , but I notices some  similarities between Gabriel , and Dracula  ( Bram Stoker novel / movie verison)

1 like Gabriel, Dracula in the Bram stroker movie / novel wore red armor when he was human.

2 he was warrior for god like Gabriel

3 Bram stroker's  Dracula was a hero when he was human, he wasn't evil

4 Satan appears to both of theme.

5  they both lost their belovedes

edit:  Gabriel also has a similarity between a another fictional vampire name, Sir Francis Varney. like Gabriel Varney had killed a person who  was closed to him, his own son.  however unlike Varney,  Gabriel had killed his wife unwillingly, while Varney had killed his son by accident in a fit of anger.

Get this! I'm not absolutely positive on this one, but I think that when you see the sun shining through the clouds while making your way through the first half of the game, might be a reference to the real actual sun. In our own solar system. That the Earth revolves around. It just gets deeper and deeper (bow-chicka-bow-wow)

Those are all just from the movie, not the book. But yeah, spot on.
