“90’s references galore!” I won an awfulboard gamefrom Nickelodeon once. I say “won”.

Castlemania, more like Here’s one we missed fromthis week’s release round-up, possibly because Konami appear to have given it precisely zero promotion: theCastlevania Dominus Collection, a four-game bundle spanning PC ports of three well-regarded DS Castlevanias, plus a redesigned version of Castlevania Haunted Castle, the firstCastlevaniagame to grace an arcade machine.

While I’m pretty jazzed to see what the coffee-addled minds that brought usThreshold Kidscan conjure up under that tantalising ‘beyond’ label, I’ll skip the speculation from now....

“I love the idea that I found something that almost nobody else has found.” Inthe first postfor my series on “saving"open worlddesign, I complained that many of today’s open worlds feel like checklists of formulaic tasks and rewards, their geography a vaporous staging ground for itemisable, cycling content-gathering opportunities, which flies in the face of the sense of freedom and wonder they’re supposed to inspire.

Fortunately, I’ve spent my penance playing the demo forWitching Stone, which applies the magic of shape-matching to the magic of, well, magic.
