Who is psyched for Portrait of Ruin? I know I am. And if you pre-ordered it, you're going to get this:

Badass.

I think there is potential here to finally top Symphony of the Night.

I have it pre-ordered bitch, in fact, at one point I had it pre-ordered TWICE. Beat that.

Is it 2D?

Ah fuck, only for the PS2? Bah.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #3 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:20:15 PM »

Seriously, that is the best pre-order gift I've ever seen for a portable game.

It's 2D for the DS.

DS LITE is probably the best system to own this holiday season, the number of high quality releases is dominating the release lists

For how long can you pre order the new CV? I haven't pre ordered yet and I want that!

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #7 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:22:31 PM »

Its not out till december I think, should be time. Tho I dont think EVERY store is offering that pack...least I doubt it.

Saint Cornelius · « **Reply #8 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:24:13 PM »

Seriously, it's for the DS??? What's that disc for?

Damn, that first DS Castlevania was one of the best sidescrollers I've played in a while.

Himu · « **Reply #9 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:26:55 PM »

Eh. I thought the DoS was okay. It was like Aria of Sorrow, but like...not evolved enough. It was Aria of Sorrow 1.5. Still though, it was yummy. I love me some CV!

The formula is getting old, and I'm hoping this new CV fits the bill nicely. I've been on media black out!

That's just the pre-order gift for the game, it's a CD full of music from over 20 years worth of Castlevania games.

The pre-order set includes a soundtrack CD, a 48-page art book with slipcover, plus a Castlevania branded stylus and DS game card case. And it's all in that sweet, sweet box.

Saint Cornelius · « **Reply #11 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:28:38 PM »

Holy shit, can this still be pre-ordered???

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #12 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:30:17 PM »

should be able to get it preorder.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #13 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:30:17 PM »

It's still listed here at EBGames.com for $34.99 - so go for it!

Himuro: Well the same could be said for GTA, the difference being that while I get tired of killing mob bosses, I dont get tired of fighting the forces of evil

Himu · « **Reply #15 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:33:03 PM »

That is true about the formula for GTA, even I will admit that. However, I never get tired of kicking gangster ass...just like I never get tired of KICKING DRACULA'S ass, and in AoS/DoS's case...kicking ass as Dracula! omg!

Saint Cornelius · « **Reply #16 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:33:16 PM »

You motherfuckers are making me dip into the Xmas fund to buy something for me

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #17 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:33:19 PM »

Dawn of Sorrow was much bigger than Aria of Sorrow, but quite frankly, I felt the level design was a lot better in Aria of Sorrow. Still quite fun, but not up to the lofty heights of all the Symphony of the Night-killer talk that was going around.

Portrait of Ruin has a legitimate shot, in my opinion, of finally taking the throne.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #18 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:36:50 PM »

Himuro: well on that point its a matter of taste so ill leave that alone. Its just I dunno how well GTA is going to sell anymore, the PSP one that just came out didnt get much fanfare but got the usual review scores.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #19 on:** November 02, 2006, 12:38:36 PM »

I'm done with GTA. After Vice City, it's all the same fucking game to me.

In DoS, the game WAS bigger but the level design wasn't that interesting to me. I mean..I don't got anything against cars and shit in CV, but like you'd have a car, and then you'd walk into a fucking castle, and it didn't feel right.

Also the platforming itself was rather lacking. I love me some AoS! Second best Metroidvania!

I agree. I'm not so sure how much it'll sell after all of thiis milking. Still though, it's for psp. Who's to say GTAIV for Ps3/360 will be completely different in terms of hype?

There isnt much out for PSP this winter compared to the DS. Im getting both Powerstone Collection and Lumines 2, and I hear Ace Combat X is good.

I should've bought a DS when a certain someone told me it was full of awesome, but noOoOoOoOooO I had to go fucking kill dragons and prevent the spreading EVIL of the Horde $:-\$

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #24 on:** November 02, 2006, 01:06:57 PM »

I TOLD YOU, SUCKAH. Now that the expansion is next year, I'm totally jumping off again.

WoW rox,

Disposable White Guy · « **Reply #26 on:** November 02, 2006, 01:21:57 PM »

Maybe there'll be some platforming and whips and VAMPIRES in Burning Crusade!

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #27 on:** November 02, 2006, 01:22:26 PM »

MAYBE

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #28 on:** November 02, 2006, 01:26:41 PM »

there are no vampires but there are ELDRYTCH VAM-PYRES OF THE ELDRYTCHNESS
