I read up on Lords Of Shadow. There not particularly good in a classic Castlevania sense, but they're good as their own stand alone series. The ultimate problem I had with them is their deviation from what makes Castlevania great (The Goddamn Castle). Lords Of Shadows follows the story of Gabriel Belmont, a famed warrior of the Brotherhood (organization of evil hunters). Gabriel sets out to find the power to resurrect his dead wife (Marie). In his quest he faces off against all manner of savage beasts and ultimately defeats the Lords Of Shadow (three powerful champions of darkness). However, Gabriel is given a shocking revelation when he comes face to face with the lord of all darkness, Lucifer. Gabriel is shown the truth that he killed his own wife in an evil trance placed upon him by one of the lords of shadow. Gabriel stricken with greif and hate, defeats Lucifer and banishes him to hell.

Gabriel renounces his faith in God and becomes a vampire, fueled by hatred and spit, Gabriel appoints himself the prince of darkness and wages war on the Brothehood. In time Gabriel's (now Dracula) son Trevor Belmont takes on the task of killing Dracula. Trevor fails in his quest and dies at his father's hands, Dracula is unaware however that Trevor is his son until it's too late. Now only hatred for the world is in Drac's soul and he wages a full scale war against the world, sending legions of monsters in death marches across the land, butchering all in their way.

Dracula is eventually defeated by Simon Belmont and sent into a deep sleep. He awakens One Thousand years later to a more modern day time period, he has lost his powers in his deep sleep and must regain them all, for Lucifer is returning to the mortal world and only the Prince Of Darkness can defeat him.
