Castlevania: Harmony of Despair chapter 2 screenshots photo

Are you sick of me repeatedly expressing an unquenchable desire to play Castlevania: Harmony of Despair? Keep scrolling. Nothing to see here.

Are they gone? Good. Because, I just have to say, I want this more than I want to experience the awkward discomfort of meeting Scarlet Johannsson. I want it more than I want to slap Ernest Borgnine. Nothing against Borgnine, whom I've always found to be a delight. I just think it would be exceedingly funny and one of those stories which would make me the hit at parties I don't belong in.

But Castlevania trumps discomfort and desire for social acceptability. These screenshots show the second chapter of the game which is based around Dawn of Sorrow. Harmony of Despair arrives on Xbox Live Arcade on Tuesday. My goal is to try and keep from immolating spontaneously from anticipation until that time.

You mean the Wii right? The Playstation one sucks even more than the Xbox Dpad, yes it's more accurate but it make my fingers hurt just looking at it.

@cowsick: Having played this at E3, the d-pad quality on either console really shouldn't make a difference unless you happen to be me circa 1999 (i.e. not comfortable with analog sticks). While I'll agree with you that the d-pad on 360 controllers is among the worst in generations, that doesn't really apply here.

That said, if it came out for PSN, I'd probably buy it there too. But I'll play on 360 where I'll have a larger group of friends playing.

anybody have any idea how the enemy abilities will work? soma is the only one who gets souls from enemies, i think. shanoa has a similar way to power up, but jonathan? that dude got almost no skills from enemies.

It's releasing for $5 too much. Like the rest of these "Games of Summer". I'll buy it next summer when it's on "sale" for the price it should have been released at.

I'm torn about this game. I want it and yet I don't. It's just the same Castlevania again, but then it's Co-op. I have no idea.

Yeah I'm seeing a lot of the same recycled stuff from previous 2D Castlevania games.

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here who had to Google Ernest Borgnine... right?
