I'd like to take this opportunity to share a thought. I finished Castlevania Lords of Shadow just two weeks ago and it never felt anything like a Castlevania game at all. To me it is a grotesque Frankenstein between God of War, Assassin's Creed, Shadow of the Colossus and the movie Pan's Labyrinth. It heavily borrows from popular games of the time while delivering nothing new on its own. It has no own identity to me. It is also littered with quick time events to make it worse. Yes, the soundtrack is great, but it doesn't sound like Castlevania. Yes, the visuals look good, but it doesn't look like Castlevania. For some reason it sold very well, though, probably because it has the Castlevania name tucked onto it. If it was an original title it would have been forgotten in no time.
