Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin actually was the one DS Castlevania game I wanted to play for a long time. Then out of no where came Castlevania Dominus Collection. This was a sequel to Castlevania: Bloodlines. Which still among my favorite Castlevania games ever!!! I previously knew they went over board with 100% completion. Each map has it's own 100% completion making the entire game an 1000% completion. On the surface knowing that might turn people off. I can promise you surprisingly it's well balanced. They kept things quite interesting to help with repetitiveness. This Castlevania game really packing content big time. You get a mind blowing amount of stuff. Easily one of my favorite boss lineups in an Castlevania game. The art style quite impressive. The audio as a whole really great stuff. Usually you get an alternative version of the campaign as another character. Well there exists three alternative versions of the campaign. You get Eric's daughters in a prequel story to the game. You get Richter mode that also includes Maria I felt was way better than Richter mode in Symphony of the Night. Oddly you can unlock the secret joke character, Old Axe Armor I'm not kidding. All these characters can be played in Boss Rush mode as well. This was a truly ambitious DS Castlevania game. At one point nearly became my favorite metroidvania Castlevania game. This felt like a great sequel to another great Castlevania game. Everything that's done in Bloodlines done way better here. This Castlevania game going to keep you busy for a long time.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's RequiemEternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is a psychological horror action adventure, released in 2002 by Nintendo for the Gamecube. It tells the stories of twelve characters that span across the world and two millennia who have to deal with ancient forces of evil which have been trying to manifest themselves in our world. Chapters take place in Ancient Rome, Persia, the Middle East, and modern-day Rhode Island. Throughout the game, the protagonists will have access to several weapons appropriate for their era, from bastard sword & gladius to flintlock pistol and shotgun. The game features an involved Magic system, which allows different spells to be created through the combination of runes. These spells can attack enemies, dispel illusions, and heal both the body and items. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem also has a unique feature called Sanity. If an enemy sees a character, their Sanity meter drops. When Sanity gets low, hallucinations begin to plague the character. Walls bleed, voices whisper from nowhere, the camera gets disoriented. Sanity can be restored by dealing a finishing move on a dying enemy, or with spells or some items.
