Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is coming out this year.  Am I stoked?  HELL YES I AM!  I have been a Castlevania fan since it’s NES release.  After watching the trailer, and seeing how promising the content and gameplay looks, this is one of the games I’m looking forward to most in 2010.  

The game is based on a character named Gabriel Belmont.  He has lost his wife to the souls of the dead who are lingering between life and afterlife.  He learns that with a holy relic which is guarded by the Lords of Shadow, he will have the power to bring his wife back from the dead.

There will be an assortment of faces to rip off within the game.  From the looks of the trailer, there will be content scaled to Gabriel’s level, as well as battles with huge titans, much like that of the Shadow of the Colossus game on PS2, which will require you to scale the body of the giant and commence to pwning.

There looks to be a definite Dante’s Inferno/God of War/Devil May Cry feel to the game, which is in no way a bad thing.  It only makes me look forward to itthat much more.  What do you guys think?  Are you excited, or just meh?  Leave a comment and tell me how you feel, and why you feel that way!
