Bloody excellent retrospectives. Not many series can make me watch a GT retrospective, but Castlevania is one of them. Also the order of awesome in Castlevania is as follows:

Rondo of Blood > Symphony of the Night > Super Castlevania IV > Castlevania III > Order of Ecclesia > Dawn of Sorrow > Aria of Sorrow > Castlevania > Bloodlines(Generations) > Belmonts Revenge > Simon's Quest > Harmony of Dissonance > Lament of Innocence > Harmony of Despair > Curse of Darkness > The Adventure Re-birth

Still deciding where Lords of Shadow fits in, but it's higher than Dawn of Sorrow :o

Not a fan of Rebirth Suzz? It's curiously dull on replays but I really enjoyed my first playthrough of it. It is a bit slow going and repetitive when you come back to it though. Which is weird as I don't think the older Castlevanias suffer from that...

Also these retrospectives are awesome, always very well presented and researched. They must take ages to put together.

Not that I'm not a fan, it's just such a weird game. It feels like it doesn't know what it is. Is it classic vania or Igavania? But it ends up something in between and the lack of saves, makes it hard to love.
