yeah but if you go into them with an open mind and forget the castlevania formula, they really aren't that bad of games

It's odd that people would have a problem letting go of 'the Castlevania formula' given that the series has pretty consistently been fudging with 'the formula'.
From my perspective at least, Castlevania doesn't have a single formula. The classic games, N64 Castlevanias, metroidvanias, Lords of Shadow, they are all different 'eras'. Judgement fits in there somewhere too :P

@Thom: Lords of Shadow 2 is by no means a step down in quality or gameplay in my opinion. The graphics and sound was apparently so good that it nearly burned out my HDMI cable when I played it. Then again it could be that my PS3 is a bit dirty inside and I don't have the tools to unscrew it and clean it, but it does well enough standing vertically.
Ace Master Cire:
Have any of you Castlevania fans seen the price of the Castlevania: Dracula X cartridge now, compared to what KalessianDB got it for? The prices it's going for damn near kick a Castlevania fan in the nuts! Because I'm usually only content with spending $50-$60 on a game at most, but for this I'll have to spend way more! If you don't know the prices it's going for now, then here's a link to an extensive eBay search of the game for SNES.

You're right, completed auctions are going for insane prices. I'm glad I got Dracula X when it was only $80.
