  My new love for Metroidvania

  When Castlevania Symphony of the Night was released on the 360 Live arcade many months ago, I bought it and played through the first boss and that was about it.
  
  Recently I picked it up again and I am instantly completely overjoyed about how awesome it is.
  
  Previous to this, the original 8-bit NES Castlevania was the only game in he series I had played and I did not really care for it. I guess it was because of how unfairly unbalanced the difficulty was.
  
  Upon picking up SOTN I was given a fantastic 2D Gothic action adventure game with a Leveling system that allows you to power up to even the odds against the sometimes incredibly powerful foes. As with any Action RPG, it really does feel like every kill is adding to your characters potential power and that is why I find it so enthralling. The Graphics are also some of the best 2D Sprite work I have ever seen. All in all I am having an amazing time hunting down Dracula.
  
  I have also picked up all three GBA games and have already started playing through Circle of the Moon which I hear is the least great of the GBA games. I cant wait to get to Harmony and Aria sometime soon.
  
  Anyway, as much as the term "Mertoidvania" is put down, it sure does a hell of a good job explaining the gameplay style.
