Is there anything more satisfying than stabbing a flying demon in the chest with a stake? Well, I can’t think of anything. Castlevania Lords Of Shadow. Lets talk about it. It looks INCREDIBLE. Think of Earth like purgatory where the souls of the damned are doomed to wander. But they don’t just wander, they leave a horrible path of destruction in their wake. Wrapped up in the destruction is Gabriel, whose wife is murdered by the demons known as the Lords Of Shadow, he swears revenge.

Headlines In Horror: Effin’ Scary Pokemon, a Halloween RPG, & a HUGE Horror Announcement at TGS!

Back in April I let loose my inner fanboy and talked all crazy like about an unannounced multi-platform action/horror game that’s (not-so) secretly in development by some of the most talented designers in the industry. I predicted it could “redefine horror”, despite knowing little about the title, and then predicted we would see it at E3. Well, the latter prediction turned out to be wrong but the former is still entirely possible, and when the Tokyo Game Show rolls around next month we’ll know a little more about the game as it will be announced at the event.
