Here's another one of those milestones that makes thirty-somethings like your truly turn to the bottle to soothe the pain of wasting one's life on video gaming: this year is the 20th anniversary of Konami's venerable Castlevania series, soon to be marked with another Nintendo DS adventure. What have I been doing with my life?!
Fortunately Konami knows that one thing that quiets the nagging voice of gaming-induced sloth and the sound of Death ticking one more year off his wait for you—sexy Castlevania Portrait of Ruin pre-order goodies! There's nothin' that needless consumption can't solve.
For those of you looking to fill the void of time lost whipping and turkey leg eating, get your reservations in now. Specialty retailers EBgames and Gamestop are selling the Belmont booty now, which includes a soundtrack CD, a 48-page art book with slipcover, plus a Castlevania branded stylus and DS game card case. All for a mere $39.99! At that price, how can you complain that the stylus isn't stake shaped?
