This is my favorite metroidvania Castlevania game. Expectations from Aria of Sorrow for me were quite high. I finally gotten to play this through Castlevania Dominus Collection. In nearly every possible way better than Aria of Sorrow. Sure the money trick technically better in Aria of Sorrow. You also need to correctly perform the seals or a boss regains some health during boss fights. Despite those problems it's a truly fantastic Castlevania game. Once again you play as Soma Cruz with amazing presentation for the story. A great lineup for the bosses as well. You get one massive map with a smaller map later on. You get a few merchants this time around. Your usual merchant being Hammer. One of the supporting characters, Yoko Belnades whose an descendant of Sypha Belnades deals with souls. Either free em or use souls to improve weapons. Plus you can find the right combination of souls for truly amazing effects. Dawn of Sorrow is currently the end of the classic Castlevania timeline. I felt it was a worthy conclusion. The audio as a whole truly fantastic work. This felt like an improved Aria of Sorrow that's differs enough to be it's own Castlevania game. In other words it's not quickly release the same game but change some stuff that's it. There's an insane level of depth. Julius Mode is even improved to a degree. You can recruit both Alucard whose not in disguise and Yoko. This recreates three of the four Castlevania 3 characters together. Boss Rush mode is a lot of fun as well. I really can not criticize it much because the game just that damn great!!!

Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
