Konami is set to release Castlevania: Harmony of Despair for PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network this September. Also added into this version for free is the ‘Beauty, Desire, Situation Dire’ Map pack, which includes the Pyramid of Ruin level as well as additional characters Julius Belmont and Yoko Belnades.
The October Games with Gold lineup is here!
How about scraping Games with Gold and reducing both XB Live Gold and XB GamePass Ultimate by $5 per month.
I don't mind the games with gold, but in reality it has been a long time since I really cared about what came on games with gold.

I believe in paying for services you use. You look at the console vendors and they run a network that tracks your gamer profile, does your games saves, and provides an environment for multi-player. The servers and infrastructure to do this is expensive and has to be paid for somehow.
I like a direct payment method rather then hiding the costs behind something else. No matter what they have to find a way to make money off the investments they make. No company does stuff for free. Now with PSNow and XB GamePass I think both should just drop the free games (that aren't really free because they allocate Gold and Plus money to buy those games) I think it is time the the free games are dropped and the subscriptions drop in price as well.
I loved Aaero. I bought it on PS4 a few years ago and got hooked (some great tunes in there). I will happily double dip and try and grab a few achievements blitzing through the earlier difficulties again.
I havent played Code Veronica since the Dreamcast. I assume this is that but in HD?
Damn, I just bought code name Veronica. Lol. I was eyeballing the Castlevania game due to the recent Tokyo Gameshow Sale, but I guess I’ll just get it here instead.
Nope. That would make no sense...but there is going to be a Devil May Cry and Castlevania anime crossover.

So anything is possible.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "It’s been a Castlevania-packed week here at Link-Cable as we’ve spent nearly every day covering the series and reminiscing about our favorite moments from the revered franchise. But now it’s time to turn away from the light and take a deep dive into the darkness that is the worst games from the series. Yes, while the vast majority of games that bear the Castlevania games are genuinely good there’s enough monsters lurking in the shadows to fill us with dread of ever stepping back into Dracula’s castle. So grab your whips and your wall-meat, things are about to get"
It's unfortunate how LOS2 turn out, great gameplay mechanics let down by mostly bad level design and dull story.
LoS1 is among the best games i played, it reminded to rush into judging a game without trying it.
LoS2 had good combat.
It's how the end of the game was lackluster and felt unfinished.
Knew that Number 1 was going to be Castlevania Judgement. So many people judge the game without even playing it. It was a fine game with some flaws like most games, no where near the worst.
Simon's Quest is one of my favorite games of all time and ahead of its time. It felt like an action rpg, the day/night cycle was awesome and different, and when I figured out how to take the tornado to the other side I was excited. I beat the game in the early 90's and still have great memories playing it.
I know this would never happen but I would love to see a From Soft remake of Simon's Quest with Miyazaki developing it. It would hold up well as a souls-like experience.
Simon's Quest is always the bastard child of the good Castlevania. It was frankly ahead of it's time.
It's "cool" to hate on that game. Apart from being obtuse because of the localization, the atmosphere, gameplay and music still makes it one of the most memorable Castlevanias. It laid the groundwork for 2D exploration games down the line.
Few game series are as definitive and beloved as Castlevania. Pitting players against Dracula and his unholy forces time and again, it is a staple of the medium of gaming and continues to live on in some way, shape or form after decades of releases. Some entries have been better than others though, so today we've got all 30 ranked from worst to best.
I like free things = ) That's a nice little bonus for Konami making PS3 users wait longer for the game. Activision should take note and give their CoD map packs a few dollars/euro discount when they get over to PSN after a month of XBLA exclusivity!
Im glad PSN is finally getting this and the free maps are always good. But seriously, I got this on release on XBLA and have played it to death. While I love Castlevania, its not like its cannon at all, and the year wait almost makes it pointless for multi console owners. And single console owners I am sure have way too many games to play at this time to pay full price on this year old game.
Sorry for the rant but I hate this year wait for games that quite frankly should not have them. :/
i def say if 1 console owners havent got 2 play it they should...i might grab it 4 tha ps3 now just 4 tha offline co-op i wanted on xbox & since i was holdin off on gettin dlc ill end up gettin it cheaper in my head
