“Am I not beautiful?”

Starting with the Nintendo 64 and working our way through Dreamcast and PS2 we trace the murky history of 3D Castlevania titles before arriving at MercurySteam’s 2010 opus Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Leon, Josh, Sean and guest Andi Hamilton of Midnight Resistance as well as our faithful forum correspondents discuss the pitfalls and perils of translating a beloved 2D franchise into polygons before appraising Lords of Shadow in some depth and detail.
