Just when I thought I’d be done with my PSP, and I could toss it into a pool of nothingness, Sony (or more specifically, Konami) had to drop this bomb.

That’s right. Konami, knowing that my love for Castlevania has exposed my weak and flesh underbelly, have decided to lay an unbeatable one-two punch on me, and delve into my wallet for some coin. They are going to release Dracula X (Rondo of Blood) - in a decent offering - here in North America. The game only appeared on the SNES here, and it was peculiar, and below par.

However, now it is coming to the PSP in an entirely new, 2.5 dimensional offering that is making me go ballistic just thinking about it. I felt that - after reading about this game’s existence - it would be impossible to resist its purchase.

But then, they “two” of the one-two punch arrived. The game would come packaged with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - quite possibly one of the best Castlevania games, starring one of my favourite characters, Alucard.

So, right when I figured I would never need a PSP again, they pull me back in.

Damn you Konami. Damn you.
