Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin actually was the one DS Castlevania game I wanted to play for a long time. Then out of no where came Castlevania Dominus Collection. This was a sequel to Castlevania: Bloodlines. Which still among my favorite Castlevania games ever!!! I previously knew they went over board with 100% completion. Each map has it's own 100% completion making the entire game an 1000% completion. On the surface knowing that might turn people off. I can promise you surprisingly it's well balanced. They kept things quite interesting to help with repetitiveness. This Castlevania game really packing content big time. You get a mind blowing amount of stuff. Easily one of my favorite boss lineups in an Castlevania game. The art style quite impressive. The audio as a whole really great stuff. Usually you get an alternative version of the campaign as another character. Well there exists three alternative versions of the campaign. You get Eric's daughters in a prequel story to the game. You get Richter mode that also includes Maria I felt was way better than Richter mode in Symphony of the Night. Oddly you can unlock the secret joke character, Old Axe Armor I'm not kidding. All these characters can be played in Boss Rush mode as well. This was a truly ambitious DS Castlevania game. At one point nearly became my favorite metroidvania Castlevania game. This felt like a great sequel to another great Castlevania game. Everything that's done in Bloodlines done way better here. This Castlevania game going to keep you busy for a long time.
Nights: Journey of DreamsThis time around, however, Nights takes a bit of a different turn. Keeping in line with the "world of dreams" theme – it wouldn't be Nights without it – players will take control of Will and Helen, two young children each entering into Nightopia (the world of dreams) with their own back-story, emotional baggage, and inner demons that come to life though the forming of nightmares. It's a pretty simple concept overall, and with each child's five main levels you'll get a different piece of the story leading up to the same grand finale. Once they arrive in the land of dreams, each character meets up with a Nights almost instantaneously, and from there learns to meld with the mysterious creature and fly through the world of Nightopia. Along the way you'll learn of the quest to find the hidden Ideya (basically essences of the human spirit), and eventually attempt to defeat a powerful god-like creature named Wizeman and his right-hand man Reala.Action

Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises.
Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.Action Fantasy Survival
