Castlevania: Lord of Shadows 2 Playable Demo Now Available

Gadgets and Gaming - Castlevania: Lord of Shadows 2

After two years of waiting, gaming fans, rejoice!  Wohoo!

The first Castlevania that I played was way back in the Nintendo Famicom.  It was the best side-scrolling game in my opinion then.  Believe it or not, I was only able to finish the game after college.  That long huh?  I always seem to get stuck back then in the Ripper's level and never got to finish the game before the game cartridge broke.  After college, I saw a Famicom for sale complete with several game cartridges that included Castlevania.  I just had to buy it.  I needed the closure.

Game trailer and  download link after the jump.

The franchise has evolved in so many ways since then with the Lord of Shadows series deviating the most. However, all that is about to change in this final installment of the series.  How's that so? Read:
“We're doing a game about vampires, so we want to do some nasty, vampiric things,” explained Konami producer Dave Cox.

Guess I'll know for sure once I'm done downloading which would be +/- 5 days.  Sucks.  I have terrible Internet connection.
