I want to like Castlevania but the sprites are hard on my eyes. Limbo is great, but the best timewaster for my money out of the "summer of arcade" is....

HYDRO!
THUNDER!

I'm definitely looking forward to the Lara Croft game, as well. The world needs more co-op dungeon crawlers.

Yup, that's the first positive Castlevania HD review I've heard. If it's co-op focused like Left 4 Dead and the other reviewers only checked it out single player I could see how they might score it low.

Yes. That's very key. If you try to sit down and play it for hours and hours by yourself you'll end up slitting your own throat.

If, however, you play a level or two in a sitting, preferably with some friends, the game is a ball of candy thrown directly into the gaping mouths of all you long-time Castlevania fans.
