Hey! Watch! Serious Castlevania: Hymn of Blood Web Series

Nothing scares me more than the prospect of a Hollywood movie version of Castlevania. Granted I’m overprotective of the franchise, but I still think my fears are warranted. While the production of such a film thankfully continues to struggle into endless roadblocks, I never considered the prospect of a watchable web series. Web series restored my faith in a potential new Mortal Kombat movie, and Castlevania: Hymn of Blood definitely has an interesting take on my favorite video games series. [...]

At the same time that I kind of lose focus on the predictability of news this time of the year, I do get a kick out of the bizarre stories that break the mold a bit. Then again, did we every really stop talking about Wolfenstein? Well in a 3 podcast week I don’t think we mentioned it once. We did however unveil a new editorial series looking at our game watching habits, and Brandon just can’t shake Minecraft XBLA. [...]

Death gets around. He’s not shy about making a cameo, cracking a joke, or just doing his duty. The concept of Death as a character has him surrounded by heavy doses of mystique and power. His job is simple but designing a video game around him is no small task as evidenced by the fact that its taken until 2012 for Death to get the leading role in a game. Throughout August, Horrible Night will be featuring articles on Death [...]

Hey! Listen! Belmont by Mega Beardo, Castlevania Metal Concept Album

Standing apart from all of music of Castlevania and its various covers is no small feat. Mega Beardo has succeeded by going all out epic with a metal concept album, Belmont. This is no mere instrumental cover of the Castlevania songs you know, but inspired storytelling crooning on top of full heavy metal sound no doubt inspired by the game’s themselves. Belmont retells Simon’s journey to Dracula in pure rock opera form. The perfect compliment to any old-school vampire killing adventure. The [...]

Castlevania games usually put you in control of the most interesting character. You want to know what happens to Simon, Richter, Alucard, and sometimes Grant DaNasty. I have always wanted to know what happened to one of the worst voice acted characters in Castlevania history: Maria Renard from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I did a little research and what I found might change your mind on how you feel about Maria. Her Story Maria Renard has been in three [...]

I Confess: No Nintendo Gaming Roots

Alright, I’ll come out and say it before I start rattling off excuses and justifications: all of those classic Nintendo and Super Nintendo games that we talk about as genre-starters or so-good-they’re-still-fun-to-play? With the exception of Contra (which I beat on XBLA), Bionic Commando (which I beat in my first all-nighter), and Super Mario World (which I beat in college) I’ve never beaten a one of them. Let’s do the list, so my secret is completely out and I’m open [...]
