Before i start id like to say I'm sorry i haven't gotten around to every ones blogs as of late, I've been busy with school but other than that i just haven't been in the mood to do anything as of late so again sorry to those who's blogs i have missed out on. Anyway on to the countdown, (ill try to keep this blog short so as not to blabber on like im prone to)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instead of writing why i like each song individually im gonna sum up what it think of the series music as a whole then i will list what songs are my favorite. I figured since its near Halloween i should do something for the occasion, and it doesn't really feel like Halloween and October for me until there's a little castlevania present.

As many of you know the Castlevania series is one that has incredible music, among other great things. These themes all represent to me what the series is all about and they have a dark medevil gothic feeling just like the artwork from the games. Some are very calming while others are uplifting or mysterious, which in turn sets the incredible atmosphere that i love about the series. Each theme will have multiple versions for you to listen to, so without further ado here are my top 10 favorite Castlevania themes.

In other gaming related stuff I finished Zelda Phantom Hourglass and Phoenix Wright pretty quickly since those are two titles ive been meaning to finish for some time. They were both pretty good, PH was alright not great but also not as bad as i had once pegged it to be.

7. My favorite movie ever is Ghostbusters

8. I once broke my neighbors arm on accident while jumping on a trampoline

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congrats on the level up.
Castlevania has some sweet soundtracks and also, crazy boss fights. XD
Posted Oct 23, 2009 5:07 pm PT
Congrats on leveling up . Phantom Hourglass is great, didn't play Phoenix Wright yet but it looks pretty interesting, i guess you had fun with it.
Great top ten, i love Castlevania, are you looking forward to Lords of Shadow?
Castlevania is amazing on it's own and it's going to be made by Kojima, it's impossible that this game will be bad
Posted Oct 23, 2009 5:53 pm PT
Sweet blog on Castlevania! I've always loved Castlevania's music and I wish I had ALL the Castlevania soundtracks (I have Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night which is my favorite) well done!
Posted Oct 23, 2009 6:16 pm PT
Never played castlevania.
Posted Oct 23, 2009 6:24 pm PT
Nice leveling up.
Posted Oct 23, 2009 6:39 pm PT
Congrats on leveling up and nice list. I've never played any of the Castlevania games. P.S. There's a surprise awaiting you in my blog... *evil laughter*
Posted Oct 23, 2009 6:56 pm PT
I love castlevania!
Posted Oct 24, 2009 1:50 am PT
I really like castlevania too (quite clearly not as much as you do though). My favourite from the ones I played is Castlevania 64, the one with Reinhardt... I love it. Great themes... Dracula forever. I was quite impressed by the cell phone image you did, impproving the buttons would help a lot. The lighting textures and shadow and shining effects are very impressive, keep it up man, I wish you luck in your course
Posted Oct 24, 2009 5:05 am PT
I am really scared of airplanes. I had to ride 2 to get to Orlando and another 2 to come back home early this year and I didn't like it.

I love Castlevania games especially the ones that have that Metroid-like exploration and those songs are indeed awesome. I don't think I have a favorite though.
Posted Oct 24, 2009 9:20 am PT
Aww, how could you not like mint? That is my favorite ice cream! I'm still somewhat new to this whole sushi thing, and the only one I have tried so far is called a California Roll. It was quite good, of course! I'm eager to try something new! And you got to meet Vic Mignola! You, sir, are quite lucky!
Posted Oct 24, 2009 10:03 am PT
@Kleeyook : you should its got 3 great games in one and its pretty cheap now too.

@Kid_Black_Star : thanks, and yea it was pretty hard for me to place them in any order since i like them all quite equally, but vampire killer definitely stands out above all others for me.

@arline6 : thanks, hoped you liked those castlevania psp and DS games

@slimdave21 : that is one of the best in the series as far as im concerned, it also has some of the best SNES music there is.

@kairikh : i agree Dracula x is awesome, and i have the cell phone render up now if you wanna check it out. Id like to see your rubix cube render sometime as well.
Posted Oct 24, 2009 12:28 pm PT
WOWWWWW now that is just totally amazing, mine looks nothing near as realistic as this, just because its more of a program used to model parts for different objects, but truly ur render is AMAZING !
Posted Oct 24, 2009 12:37 pm PT
I love eating toothpaste
and your a defender..cool
Posted Oct 24, 2009 12:40 pm PT
@Goomba_Lord37 : you should definitely try a castlevania sometime, perhaps try Dawn of Sorrow on the DS or any one of those on the DS would be good. But those are the games with the metroid style of castlevania gameplay, while the old ones are more like action plaformers so either one would be a good choice depending on which one you like more.

@macrules_640 : thanks and indeed it does

@Xenogears_Rocks : yea i love the art style as well, id say you could probably start anywhere in the series since they all take place in different time periods, perhaps the DS ones or the original NES ones would be a good start.

@CcJj09 : thanks

@marceleleco : that is strange i just noticed that in the picture right now, perhaps its a pre release photo before the game came out so it might have changed. thats the only explanation i can think of.

@tequilero : you should, its definitely a highlight in the series

@just_nonplussed : I love that song, it always set quite a good tone for that stage, but the game just had good music period so every track is really good IMO.

@Desulated : yea the boss fights and music make the series really memorable for me.
Posted Oct 24, 2009 12:41 pm PT
@nintendo_warrio : Lords of shadow looks great and should be pretty good, i just hope kojima helps that european team enough with the quality of the game.

@Koi-Neon-X : thanks, i think i have most of the soundtracks released for the castlevania games, the only ones im missing are some of the NES themes but they have them on a compalation disc so i might pick that up sometime.

@bugbag : you should try one out sometime the series is pretty good.

@nintendoboy16 : thanks

@soulless4now : thank you, and you should try the series soon. And lol thanks for the tag (you are evil )

@Sparda_13 : Yea the 64 castlevania holds alot of good memories for me too. And thanks for the input, i had to kinda rush on the buttons since the project was due and i was kinda behind , im not happy with them but im glad the rest came out good.

@Pierst179 : that sounds pretty bad if you dont like to fly, going back and forth like that. The metroid like castlevanias are my favorite, it just adds another layer to an already awesome type of gameplay.

@Courtney817 : Mint has just been something ive never been fond of, but mint ice cream might be the only exception . I usually only get california roll type sushi as well, since the big slices of tuna and whatnot are a bit much even for me. Yea i met Vic Mignola, he was a really nice guy too he answered my questions about voice acting and he signed a few things for me, I even got a picture with him and i may post it here one day.
Posted Oct 24, 2009 1:00 pm PT
I've seem some interviews with Vic Mignola and he seemed quite nice. I've always wanted to meet Aaron Dismuke, though. He's so cute! And as long as you like mint chocolate chip ice cream, I can still speak to you
Posted Oct 24, 2009 2:18 pm PT
lol Someone had to tag you eventually. I just got to you first.
Posted Oct 24, 2009 8:48 pm PT
Love the themes! And congratulations on gaining your level. Lost Painting from SOTN is one of my favorite songs.
Posted Oct 24, 2009 10:01 pm PT
Sushi is the best food in the world. Even when I'm not hungry, I still have room for SUSHI!
Posted Oct 25, 2009 7:43 am PT
Great pics ! Talking about Castlevania games....I played Castlevania II. Simon's Quest on the NES.... The good old times ! Never finished it....

I love SuperCastlevania IV on the SNES ! One of my favorite game on the SNES !
Posted Oct 25, 2009 8:59 am PT
Congrats on the level up I'm ashamed to say haven't played a Castlevania game yet
Posted Oct 25, 2009 7:36 pm PT
congrats man keep it up
Posted Oct 26, 2009 10:37 pm PT
Nice Rendering Dude Its Great
Posted Nov 1, 2009 12:24 pm PT
You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance is one of my favourite winning quotes from Street Fighter which is one of my favourite series. Also well done on making it to level 27.

I don't know much about Castlevania because I never played a game in the series so I don't know much about the themes but one thing I do know is their excellent titles.
Posted Nov 1, 2009 6:18 pm PT
Never heard of that game but looks good
Posted Nov 6, 2009 1:02 am PT
Mint is ok, not my favorite. Mint ice cream is kinda good. What's the phone picture?
Posted Dec 1, 2009 10:49 am PT
@EGOE : oh the cell phone picture is just a 3D model i had to make for a class im taking
