I'm not one who likes to advocate for shameless self-promotion, but a recent review of mine has been featured as the official editor review for gameobserver.com

I've been interested in the Castlevania series for a long time now, but due to the series' ridiculous backcatalogue of games, I haven't really known where the best place to start is.

I recently found Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for ridiculously cheap so I decided I might as well start there.  I know this game has the original Rondo of Blood and (an apparently updated w/ new voice acting?) Symphony of the Night.

What I want to know is, should I start with the PSP update of Rondo of Blood, or should I start with Symphony of the Night?  I know the latter is arguably the most popular game in the series so I thought it may be a good place to start.

The only other problem I have is, does anyone know what the specific differences are between Symphony of the Night on XBLA, PSN, and PSP?  As far as I know the XBLA version has altered sound effects, the PSN version is the original PS1 version, and the PSP version in DXC has a new voice cast.

Many thanks to any and all replies that can clear some of this up for me.

So I was playing Team Fortress 2 a while ago, and I happened to noticed that I had been repeatedly killed by the same demoman in the exact same location numerous times.  I then started to go after him and noticed that he kept camping this ledge in a corner planting stickies everywhere.  After numerous failed attempts at killing him as a spy and eventually ending with him getting a domination on me, I ragequit the game by holding the power button down on my laptop and then I went and ate some pizza while I contemplated my own failures in life.

So GiantBomb, when was the last time you ragequit a game?
