Castlevania LoS Soundtrack Coming in October

Thanks to a multi-title partnership with Konami and Sumthing Else Music Works, the top name in video game soundtracks, the public will get to experience the music to the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow which is the best selling entry in the Castlevania franchise.

The soundtrack is due out for physical release in both the European and American markets on October 29 as well as a simultaneous digital release on iTunes, Amazon MP3, as well as various other retailers. Also mentioned was a special extended edition of the soundtrack dubbed the “Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Director’s Cut” with over twenty bonus tracks that will be exclusively available at Sumthing Else’s official site.

As exciting as that is for fans of the series there is a bit more to look forward too as a couple more soundtracks have been announced in the form of “Castlevania: Lords of Fear- Official Soundtrack” which will also be available digitally on October 29 but will have physical copies available sometime in November followed by the soundtrack for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 due out in early 2014.

The score for Lords of Shadow, composed by Oscar Araujo, has received many accolades and awards in 2011 including ‘Best Original Score for a Video Game of Interactive Media’ from the Interactive Film Music Critics Association. It was recorded with the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra which consists of a 120-piece ensemble.

The Evil Within is one of the hot new IPs that is coming for both current and next generation consoles, but as good as it looks the information on the game has been somewhat limited with a scant few trailers and just a bit of gameplay revealed so far. But, in an effort to show off even more of the gameplay, publisher Bethesda and developer Tango Gameworks have just put up a brand new 12 minute video.

While the video doesn’t go so far as to spoil too much of The Evil Within by showing off 12 straight minutes, the video does jump around to give a nice idea as to how the game will play. Split into two part, the video covers a little bit of two chapters the Prologue and Perth House to provide more than just a single area of the game. While a little disjointed to show as much as they can, the video does give a good idea of what can be expected when the game finally releases.

Those wanting to watch the gameplay video for themselves can find it embedded below. The Evil Within is currently set to release sometime next year for Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

It isn’t “commonplace” for games to set their scene using a flaming biplane crashing like a phoenix into an Aztec temple, unleashing an ancient curse, but Deadfall Adventures clearly doesn’t seem like a game that could be described as run-of-the-mill. A new trailer for Nordic Games and The Farm 51‘s latest game for the PC and Xbox 360, Deadfall Adventures, was released today and it certainly isn’t messing around, plunging you straight into the depths of an old Aztec tomb right in the heart of the Mexican jungle.

When the trailer started, I was unimpressed by the lack of detail that had gone into the Aztec tombs, but as it went on the action just kept on mounting and the visuals became more and more spectacular. From the sheer detailing that went into the light effects on a lone spider-web, to the evil glow of Aztec monster himself, everything looks fantastic.

Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think!

It seems that people have been very taken by Contrast from what they have shown at convention and the demos that have been available there for people to get a chance to try it out. Though information has been somewhat limited about who all and what all will take place in the game, from publisher Focus Home Interactive and developer Compulsion Games, based around light and shadow.

Well, some new information on Contrast has just been released, the first in the form of new screenshots showing off some more of the game’s characters Didi and Dawn, as well as new locations in the game. But, while screenshots are nice to see some new sights of the game they don’t provide all that much information, which is why the official website is now up.

Those wanting to check out the see the new screenshots can click on the images in the gallery below, but for even more information players can check out the Contrast Official Website to see images, videos, and read the developer blog. Contrast is set to release soon for XBLA, PSN, and PC.
