Castlevania whipping Xbox Live Arcade this week

Konami's 2D action-adventure Castlevania: Symphony of Night is releasing on Xbox Live Arcade this week. All being well, you'll be able to download it as of 9am on March 21 here in Blighty, for 800 Microsoft Points.

In Symphony of Night you play Alucard, half-vampire son of Dracula, as he ventures into his father's castle and, well, goes a-actioning and adventuring - cue slaying monsters and stuff. The XBLA download features the original version of the game along with a visually enhanced edition - with modernized audio and sound effects! - plus there's new native widescreen and high-definition support and the ability to earn up to 12 Achievements and 200 Gamerscore points.
