Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Arrives Today

When did Dracula get a Bayonetta hair monster?

...

I am so pumped for this game.

I need to constantly take shows, because everything is made out of blood.

@caipa: It's going to take me a long time to pick the vomit out of my keyboard. Thank you.

@development: Oh, you have seen nothing yet. There's a sweet thing called Chouriço doce made in the northeast region of Brazil. The ingredients are, a pot full of blood from pigs, fennel, cinnamon and sugar. It smells like a murder scene while it's being prepared and it's based on the blood sausage. ENJOY!

I'm currently playing this and I'm having a blast. I'll say if you enjoyed the original Lords of Shadow then you should get a lot of enjoyment out of this. I'm constantly grinning - when Zobek struts out in this black suede suit smoking a cigarette I was like "damn Zobek you're stylin!"

@hermes: Hey, you're not alone. I loved a local variant of blood sausage when I was a kid. Throw on some applesauce and you're set!

For the uninitiated

BLOOD IS BOREDOM

a Vinny review would resolve many issues, I agree. Only needs to do one, and he can then go back to being head tech and comedic heavy.

I also got my spirits a little dampened as the QL went on. That it is a failure in some ways I almost expect, but at least make the immediate experience so crazy that something is achieved, anyways. Lots of colors, goth and dramatic moments. Even if it all gets convoluted and lost. Zobek stubbing his gold banded ciggie out in the demons eye was a okay start.

Could we start a petition for a @vinny review of this? I'd love to see a triumphant return, since his last one was the A Crack in Time 2009 review.

I prefer the Broodwich to the Blood Sandwich.

Why is Zobek wearing a ring over his glove? Oh Zobek, you crazy old man.

Blood is desk!? BLOOD IS DESK!

@hermes: Oh... oh, no. That makes my stomach want to die.

AM I A BLOOD SANDWICH?

@development said:

Ok, a small detail I ruled out for the sake of relevance...

The blood is not fresh, but coagulated. Only some people don't know what the ingredient is...

Sorry about the red herring.

Quite nice, as long as you don't leave your house at night!

I just googled it and for the first time in my life couldn't find an example. I just found some horrific unrelated links and this:

What is a "blood sandwich?"

"Zobek are you just naming objects in the room"

"Blood lamp"

Zobek is everything

What's it like living in TRANSYLVANIA?

I like that three primary things in Alex's world are air, desk, and sandwich.

Uh yes, I'll have the Blood Sandwich combo please. Make it a large with a Diet Coke.

(I don't have any opinions on this new Castlevania game, so here's an unfunny joke instead.)

Isn't "Blood is Sandwich" the new Suda 51 joint?

Bloody hell!

Funny thing is, in my country it is perfectly viable to get a "blood sandwich".

Never been a fan, though...

This game's trailers have always made it look fantastic and amazing and creative.

The modern day stuff from the quick look today look boring as fuck.

Well ... alright ill take the blood sandwich from the menu. Got any good red wines you can recommend with it?

I..... I want a blood sandwich.
