The Quick 15: Castlevania: Harmony Of Despair

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair was released on Xbox Live Arcade today, and if you're wondering how a six-player co-op Castlevania game works, you're in luck. We've captured 15 minutes of gameplay footage from the second and third levels, including the boss battles. Our group of six included a few veterans as well as a couple of guys who were playing the game for the first time. (That may explain some of the unnecessary jumping and their inability to do more than one point of damage.)

It's a fun game, especially when you round up a group of friends. If you're a lonely-guy gamer, however, you may want to check out the demo before plunking down the 1,200 points.
