Part I: Road Into Darkness - The Castlevania Retrospective

They did some really great retrospectives on Metroid, Zelda, and Final Fantasy before(although they aren't above stealing artwork from fansites, so watch your bandwidth!)

Yay, I have been waiting for this to happen.   

edit: Heh, funny how they mentioned the current status of the CVIII adaption. I wonder if they got the information from that thread I made a while ago.

I liked that. I'm surprised to hear that games like Ghosts'n Goblins outsold the original Castlevanias though...

Machinima also doing Castlevania retrospective.
Seems Lords of Shadow sparked a new interest in the series.

I reallly liked it, they actually KNOW about the obscure games, and, holy hell, even the original Castlevania has dual personality! :P

Machinima one sucks. The narrator is annoying and they chose Legacy of Darkness to illustrate the series' low points.  >:(

Couldn't they have went with Adventure or Legends?

It is sad, but I think most people nowadays know that there are "some 3D Castlevanias that suck"...and not much remember that there were some rather bad 2D games on the first Game Boy.

Even bad guys are entitled to their opinion, right?

They are, they are...

You're not a bad guy, though.
You're really trying though.  It's not a bad game, you just keep trying to convince people (or yourself) it is.
