Today's game review is a double bill of some of Castlevania's best work: Aria and Dawn of Sorrow. The tail end of the Gameboy Advance era saw the best of the post-SOTN crop. The Souls mechanic added to Soma Cruz's arsenal. A couple years later, a new coat of paint and audio polish lead to a direct sequel on the Nintendo DS. Despite looking and sounding better, the game is let down by some goofy stylus mechanics. Still, both games are really good and continued the Metroidvania's rush of success.
