We’re not sure whether this counts as a delay, as we don’t recall either of these titles being given a release date in the first place, but Konami has now confirmed that Europe won’t see Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia or Lost in Blue 3 until 2009. With any luck, we’ll still be getting [...]

When XS Games decided to make “PopStar Guitar” for Wii, they intended to make a full-fledged guitar peripheral for it, a PR rep told me during a demo last week.
But retail pushed back. They weren’t willing to stock yet another large plastic instrument.
XS Games went another route and produced a small add-on easily grafted onto [...]

I have become more and more frustrated with “Silent Hill: Homecoming” in the days since I wrote a scares comparison to “Siren.”
The combat in the new “Silent Hill” is more engaging than in previous games, but nonetheless frustratingly unwieldy. It becomes especially infuriating, given the game’s lack of save points and med packs to patch [...]

The disc-only version of Konami’s “Rock Revolution” was released last week, but the drum kit-and-game bundle won’t be in stores until next month.
I was told by Konami reps last month that if you can’t wait until then, you can buy the game and use MTV Games’ “Rock Band” drum kit, in addition to Activision’s “Guitar [...]

This week marks the release of the highly anticipated Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Poised to be more than the usual Metroidvania-romp, Ecclesia’s glyph system coupled with great diversity in environments and level layout (we’re apparently not stuck inside the castle anymore) has all of [...]

With all the rumor and speculation that has surrounded the potential of Metal Gear Solid 4 being ported to the Xbox 360 over the years (none of which, mind you, has ever been confirmed), one question has yet to be definitively answered: Is the 360 actually powerful enough to host the game without any significant [...]

Konami is wasting no time in bringing us grateful westerners Genso Suikoden Tierkreis. Siliconera’s Spencer was informed by a representative of Konami’s North American arm that localization was already underway, and that the U.S. would see the difficult-to-pronounce RPG in “early 2009,″ which Spencer took to mean Q1 2009.

I’m so very conflicted about Castlevania Judgment. Mixing classic and current Castlevania characters together in a fighting game is such a cool concept, but from what we’ve seen so far it looks like the implementation of said concept is severely lacking. Now, with the release of the game only a month away, Konami finally [...]

Camilla seems like a minor character in the Castlevania storyline, one of the “other” vampires who appeared as a boss in a few games. She’s typically portrayed as a nude, winged woman atop a giant skull. And Golem makes Camilla seem vital — Golem is nothing more than a vaguely memorable normal [...]

Even after Konami announced that the game would feature an in-game PS3 controller, the rumors persisted. And now thanks to Japanese stock investor bulletin Morningstar, those rumors continue. The site points out that the number of [...]
