CASTLEVANIA : LORDS OF SHADOW [ Konami | 2010 | PS3/360 ] Review – Return of the Mack…

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a sorely needed – and ambitious – next-gen revamp of the whip-cracking franchise. It’s the year of Our Lord 1047 and the forecasted “end of days” is nigh – a dark spell has separated heaven and earth, and the soul of protagonist Gabriel Belmont’s recently murdered wife has been prevented from ascending into heaven. Therefore, as damaged widower and fully paid-up member of the Brotherhood of Light (and therefore sworn to protect the land from evil forces) he sets off on a quest which involves destroying the three Lords of Shadow, in an effort to rescue his wife from limbo.
