Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 hands-on – sickeningly good, or sickeningly safe?
Vampiricism has its perks, as Ed discovers.
This is how a master vampire lays the smackdown on a castle-sized primordial robot with hammers for hands – he projectile-vomits blood all over the machine’s guidance crystals, causing it to topple over and flatten its own army. Ok, so it’s not quite as inventive a tactic as, say, turning your catsuit into a demon hair-dragon, or parking a Warthog aboard a Scarab in Halo 3, but it’s a definite step-up from R-Pax fisticuffs, and indeed from the original Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.
