Here we are; the breakdown of the final episode of Castlevania, Season 1. Will the series pull more from the source material, or will it continue to feel like a standalone? Read on to find out.

As the episode opens, Dracula's monsters confront the Bishop in the church. One of the monsters let him know that God has abandoned the Bishop for his wrongdoings, and proceeds to bite off his head!
Meanwhile, the mob who was chasing Belmont eventually joins him after Sypha Belnades (one of The Speakers Belmont saved in the catacombs -- also a playable character in Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse) saves him allowing the opportunity for Belmont to confront one of the corrupted clergymen, and assemble the mob in order to prepare for the attacking demons. Destroying the creatures leads to an explosion sending Belmont and Sypha back to the catacombs. Through their search,...

Last Friday was the premier of Castlevania: Season 1 on Netflix. The anime style series debuted to many antipated viewers. I did a recap of the first episode last week, and have returned with episodes 2 and 3 (the entire season consists of 4 episodes). Do the other episodes match the interest of the first? Should this season warrent a second? Read on to find out.
At the conclusion of episode 1, fans were briefly introduced to the last surviving member of the Belmont family, who looks to be the last of a disrespected family legacy. Meanwhile, Dracula had given the town one year to leave until he returned for his revenge due to the church and town leaders burning his wife, Lisa, at the stake due to accusations of witchcraft.
Episode 2:
The Belmont family was an aristocratic family who had all the power in the area, who were excommunicated...

Many big screen biographies are often accused of taking…liberties…with the facts, often to help the finished film’s pacing. After all, unless it’s a TV mini-series, it’s difficult to compress a remarkable life into an evening at the movies. Film makers will frequently switch the order of events along with the popular practice of using composite characters (a little bit of this fella’, and a bit of this old pal, and…), even inventing supporting roles, or tagging real folks with invented names. And then there are fantasy tales using a real person (and elements of his life) as the story’s heroic center. In Hollywood famous true Western outlaws like Billy the Kid and Jesse James were the leads in many fictional flicks (hey, those two “met” Dracula and Frankenstein’s daughter!). Those on the opposite side of the law like Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson...

Boss fights are almost always a game's highlight, but some are more challenging than others. Here's our top 25...
In the world of videogames bosses aren't the kind of authority figures that'll give you a last minute report to do, or delegate to you tasks they simply can't be bothered doing. No, these bosses would rather take that report, roll it up into a ball, set fire to it, and throw it at your face. The only delegation they're interested in is getting you to test the sharpness of their axe, or the effectiveness of a new spell.
The end level boss is almost as old as videogaming itself, and many genres have some form of superior foes awaiting you at the end of a level, area or mission. These bosses are often large, overpowered beasts that make the foes you've faced thus far seem tame in comparison,...

Banshee delivers a bloody penultimate episode. Here's James' review of Always The Cowboy...
This review contains spoilers.
1.9 Always The Cowboy
If there was one thing that really struck you about the opening scene of Banshee’s ninth episode, it was the blood. Picking up minutes after We Shall Live Forever concluded, Ana lays beaten to a pulp in the back of her car while a strung out Sheriff Lucas Hood tries to get her to the hospital. It’s not Ana’s delirious daydreams or Hood’s pleading with her to hang in there that sticks out though, but the blood. Having gone through eight hours with Banshee, we’re no strangers to the red stuff by now but here it seems different, harsher in the broad daylight, and then sterile surrounding of the hospital. Blood plays a big part in Always The Cowboy,...

When I reviewed "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate" earlier this week, I warned fans of the side-scrolling "Castlevania" games of recent years that they shouldn't come in expecting the huge amount of exploration found in post-"Symphony of the Night" 2D titles in the franchise. That was deliberate, MercurySteam boss and "Mirror of Fate" producer Dave Cox told me, citing "Dracula's Curse" as his team's main point of influence.
MercurySteam have their heads down now developing "Lords of Shadow 2"--what Cox promises will be the U.K. studio's last "Castlevania game, so we talked a bit about shepherding the franchise through a new continuity, going back in time over and over with Trevor, Simon, and Alucard, and the next-gen ambitions of "Lords of Shadow 2."
