Castlevania IV... what a piece of shit. 

So, I haven't played any good games on my Mac for what seems like a very long time, and I decided to download a Super Nintendo game or two to hold me over until I can get something a little newer. I just saw someone mention the Castlevania series, so I thought that might be a good place to start.

I looked around on the internet to see which games in the series were on the Super Nintendo, so I could play them with the emulator on my computer. Castlevania IV came up, and I found it pretty easily.

Now, I probably don't like this game because I just started and I haven't gotten to anything interesting. Or maybe it's because I've never liked the shitty genre that is called "action platformer" or something. I just don't get the game, or how it could become so popular; how the series could become so popular. You walk around at a (in this case) very slow rate, waiting for stupid monsters to wander at you. When you see one, you whip. Yes, you whip it. In fact, you must whip it. As they say, "When a skeleton comes a long, you must whip it. When a floating ponies head charges you, you must whip it."

Honestly, one of the enemies I fought was the disembodied head and neck of a horse. Who's idea was that?

But in all fairness sake, as I said, I really don't like the genre. I just keep trying to find one of the games that I'll like. I mean, I didn't even like Metroid, so I probably am just not into that kind of game. I've never really been that much of a platform man anyway, and without any interesting graphics, I see no point in continuing.

So, when I feel inspired to write an actual interesting post, I'll let you know.
