Rely on Horror: "It has come to an end. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2s Revelations DLC is the final Castlevania offering from MercurySteam, before they move on to tackle another series in Konamis portfolio (Contra?!). Revelations stars none other than Alucard himself. Fans are ecstatic to control the son of Dracula once more, especially this version, which I find to be better than the original timelines. So the question is: Is this a symphony worth spending your night experiencing?"

The problem with Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 is a traditional one for over-bloated triple-A development, and that's a lack of focus. Maybe if they'd stuck to one idea they could have made that one idea really good. Instead we get forced stealth sections, a dual-world mechanic in which nothing that happens in one world affects the other in any way, and characters popping up and popping out again like it's the fucking Academy Awards.

Earlier this week, former Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi left Konami to start his own development studio. In a statement, Igarashi told IGN, "I've decided to break out on my own to have the freedom to make the kind of games I really want to make -- the same kind I think fans of my past games want as well." IGN caught up with Igarashi and we asked, given his experience with making 2D action games, would he consider working with Nintendo to revive the Metroid series?

Just a few days ago, famed Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi parted ways with Konami and has since created his own independent studio.

Now that Igarashi is free to spread his wings, there's a possibility that the visionary behind so many classic 2D-platformers will get a chance to work on Metroid—that is, if Nintendo would be willing to place its prized series in his capable hands.
