Castlevania Judgment Wii Review

No crystal ball two years ago could have predicted Castlevania's first appearance on Nintendo Wii would be as a three-dimensional fighting game. For me, the classic series has felt most comfortable and engaging in its original 2-D side-scrolling configuration. But…  Read More
