Who's the muppet reporting 9/10 as 9.0 and 8/10 reviews as 8.0?

Give the scores as the original reviews do please.

Not in my opinion. I hate all of that Metroidvania gameplay style of most modern Castlevania games. I want a linear, hack 'n slack with light plaforming Castlevania, just like the best games in the series: Castlevania 1, III, IV, and Bloodines. It seems this new Castlevania will be following those examples, which is right up my alley.

Same here. Metroidvanias are nice, but they're not true CV titles. This title should be more similar to old school CV games than the latest Metroidvania title featuring some young man with delicate facial features.

Metroidvania all the way. The series only got great when started copying metroid.

How can you say they're not true CV titles?  There have been many more Metroidvania games than the old platforming ones.  That's what Castlevania is now.

*shudders at the thought* Thankfully, Konami disagrees with you, robio, otherwise this new CV and CV Rebirth wouldn't exist.

CV Rebirth isn't Metroidvania because frankly it was easier for Konami to blast out a short, linear, downloadable, me-too like title, like Contra Rebirth.

Oh god. Metroidvanias are the best Castlevania's. They have been around enough to be considered the true Castlevania. The series evolved like RE did.

Yes. *bro knuckles*

First time in ages we agree on something.

Evolved? In CVs case, de-evolved is more like it, as in the fun factor de-evolved into something that was not fun anymore.

Well its you, of course you like simple go left to right Castlevania.

He would prefer it as a text adventure. As you go back in time, games get better.

So much for coming to this site to feel relaxed, be ourselves, and share our opinions.

If that's how it is than I'll stop posting here. It's been fun most of the time, but I guess I'll be leaving.

You need to stop taking everything so seriously.

Yeah man, I hope you're joking. Because we would all love to slap Iga something silly.

Just for the "GG is slow joke"

This past weak?! And they say GG is slow!

I thought Super Metroid was at least a 2 million seller. I figured Metroid games would sell like 3 million units and such. Nope.

Jesus man, you are slow.

Dvader has three gears when thinking: slow, VERY slow, and stopped.

Stopped is the position when he actually buys a Sonic game.

Happy B-Day Raven! If were still playing City Folk I would send you a gift.

Muppet?

The term "Muppet" (capitalized), coined in 1954 by Jim Henson for his puppet act and currently owned by the Walt Disney Company's subsidiary, Muppets Holding Company, has unofficially become a slang term (lowercase) with different meanings in various regions.

Outside of its regional usage -- in the United States for example -- calling an individual a "muppet" can cause some cultural confusion, even causing a U.S. soccer fan to misinterpret it as a compliment.[1] These cases have assumed a literal interpretation of the Muppet characters, the property for which the term is trademarked.

In Great Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand,[2][3] the word muppet has come to be used as a mild term of abuse, meaning a stupid, incompetent, or idiotic person, or the obvious interpretation of someone who is inanimated or somehow not there.[4]It is often used mildly affectionately.[4] It can also be applied to a strange looking or aesthetically displeasing individual.

In Britain it's mostly used as slang for a lovable fool.

"Man offers XBLA points to kids in exchange for nude pictures"

Hahaha, I've tried this same tactic on Steelattack a few times....until I saw the travesty that was his unwashed asshole. Eww....

The only thing's I KNOW for sure I'm not going to like about Metroid, are the stupid ass controls that only allow you to use HALF of the Wii controller (really, WTF is that?? Why limit your control options unessessarily?) & the bullshit annoying story tactic that has Samus not using her powers just because the fucking General guy is sheepish about it.

I'm also not real happy about the length of the game....10 hours? So it costs the same price as the Prime games but its half as long.

I have a feeling its going to make me wish for a new Shadow Complex more than anything else...that was the best Metroid style game in ages, I'm surprised it doesn't get talked about on here more. GG you really need to play it. Its longer and likely better than Metroid for half the price man!

I love these nerd articles. I don't understand 99% of what they are even talking about!

"The shipping version of The Force Unleashed II uses 5-11 sample motion blur on Xbox 360, while the PS3 game uses five SPUs working in parallel to deliver a consistent 16 sample implementation."

WTF? Blah, blah, biddy blah = pretty graphics, I guess.

Yeah, if I could be bothered to read it. I was hoping someone would give me the short version
