    Yup, we're working on a new Castlevania game. Thanks to KONAMI, & with Motion Twin's friendly advice, the franchise will be going back to its roots with what we hope to be the best whip traversal & combat ever seen in a 2D action-adventure game! Noooo pressure... www.konami.com/games/castle...

    I understand some folks would prefer that each area have a punchier central hook rather than spending ages hypnotically wandering through a bunch of subtle variations, but it's not really a FLAW that the OST of the Castlevania game that's set in Paris takes its cues from French techno.
