We like this game, giving it a 4 out of 5 in our co-op review. You and five friends can team up to blitz attack maps inspired by levels from previous titles. Two new chapters are due out in January. The first chapter will be based off of the Catacombs level of the classic Castlevania Symphony of the Night. Details will be coming soon on the second level.

Either that--or I had just discovered breasts.
