Oh right, this is the first Castlevania game I've played properly so thats why I didnt know what you were talking about lol<br><br>But its really good and the combo's with the whip are sweet, voice acting really adds to the atmosphere aswell.<br><br>I always thought castlevania was done by Capcom but its says Konami on the PS2 version, thats probably correct though.<br><br>Oh and the music is really cool, quite different too, like it has classical vampire/castlevania music and then like techno remixes which arent as bad as they sound lol <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.eternal-anubis.com/Images/NeoRain3.JPG" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

I got it from the Offical Playstation UK magazine!!<br><br>Here is a shot I took with my digi cam 17 seconds ago, sorry dont have a scanner.<br><br>But sadly Mr. Joe is no longer a GC exclusive!!

Just playing Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy again lol what I like about the game is the humour in some of the puzzles, you switch between Sphinx a young demi god and the Cursed Mummy, with Sphinx you have health and a sword and do action type things aswell as puzzles and when your Mummy you cant die (cos you already dead) and have to do harder puzzles and a bit of platform style jumping around.<br><br>Anyway the section I'm on now is really funny, you have to either set yourself on fire or electrocute yourself and carry the flame/charge with you avoiding the water which takes away the flame/charge to say a beacon that needs electricity to function etc.<br><br>Here is a short video of Mummy getting electrocted so he can carry the charge, he makes some funny Ahhh!! Oooh! noises too but there's no sound on the vid, its just from my digi cam which is not really for capturing video so its crap but a good example of what I'm talking about lol<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.eternal-anubis.com/Images/Mu ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.eternal-anubis.com/Images/Neowet.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

It's great Angelus, if you enjoed the old 2D Platform games, you'll love this. The effects are amazing, fighting in slow motion is quality. It says on the Gamecube Cover "Only For Gamecube"<br><br>But it's great. <p>----------<br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Door of Destiny:</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> The new name for Tierra Game Central<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Coming soon...</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://dod.dark-stars.net/images/droc_signature.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>------------<br>Spider-Man II: Can't wait!</p><i></i>

[Angelus3K]

Yup but as Splinter Cell also bore the "Xbox Exclusive" it went to PC and PS2 and Halo which was a Xbox exclusive also went to PC, now I know thats Xbox but its a good example, and in my mag it says Veutiful Joe is comin to PS2! Its the Offical Playstation mag so obvisouly they are correct!<br><br>What did you think of the Sphinx vid? Its for PS2, Gamecube and Xbox maybe you should rent it!!<br><br>Cant wait to kick some ass slow mo style, in fact I love the Final Fight type games, side scroller beat-em ups!! <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.eternal-anubis.com/Images/Neowet.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>I hear that the GBA games are supposed to be quite good as well, though I have never played them.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Circle of the Moon is somewhat lacking in graphics, though the music is excellent.

The sounds seem to have been recorded from Castlevania 1. Gameplay's okay.<br><br>Now Aria of Sorrow...

Maybe it was something temporal. Monkeyball was supposed to be nintendo-exclusive I believe, but the N-Gage has it now too. <br><br>Maybe in certain cases companies are allowed to claim exclusivity because of a certain contract; a date can be set up to which the game is not to be released on other consoles (like Prince of Persia), and in that period the products may bear a label "only for" and that sort of stuff. <p><br><br><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.lycos.nl/rustedpipe/sig13.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

If I owned a PS2 only, I would pray for Metroid Prime to come to it. But, that will never happen of course. <p><br><br><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.lycos.nl/rustedpipe/sig13.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Most likely not, thats why its good that there are other consoles cos each of them has some truly quality titles available!!<br><br>I just dont get why they say 'such and such exclusive' then a couple months later annouce it for the other consoles!! <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.eternal-anubis.com/Images/Neowet.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

What do you mean?
