‘Castlevania: Lords of Shadow’ Series Latest to Join Xbox Backwards Compatibility Program
For the veteran Castlevania fans, Konami disappointed with the recently-released Castlevania Requiem. And while the Lords of Shadow series didn’t do much for them either, for those that did enjoy that series, you can now count it as part of the Xbox One Backward Compatibility program.
Announced by Xbox Director of Programming Larry Hryb on Twitter, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, its expansion, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate HD and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 are now backwards compatible with the Xbox One, along with Avalanche Studios’ Just Cause.
It should be noted that if you don’t already own Lords of Shadow, and are looking to buy it digitally from the Microsoft store, the game may not be available for all regions. In that case, you’ll have to spring for the physical disc, pop it into your Xbox, and enjoy it that way.
Yes, long-suffering Castlevania continue to get the cold shoulder, but at least the Netflix show has been given the green light for a third season.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
