[M-A-G]

Another good morning to the lot of you. Even though I am on vacation I refuse to ignore my duty in bringing you the latest in the best, and sometimes worst, of gaming history with another installment of Rate the Game! Last week we tackled one of Konami's most well-known franchises with one of its more standout entries, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. That's all over and done with and we now await where it will land on our glorious leaderboard. I made a few adjustments to the way the board is presented in an attempt to hopefully keep the list not so wide. Namely for ties, there's no sense in putting the score for every single title since they scored the same. Anyways, here's the updated leaderboard so let's see where Castlevania: Symphony of the Night stands!

Well, we end up with yet another first here on Rate the Game. Destor's wrath aside, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night still stands relatively strong and earns a 4.0 average rating. Which means it joins 4 other titles in the number 18 spot to create our first ever FIVE-WAY TIE!!! It's a party going on over at that spot, let me tell you. Will this week's game dare make it an even kinkier six-way? Let's go to the bowl for the new game!

And for this week we are charged with the task of rating the space horror adventure with Isaac Clarke, Dead Space! How'd this creepy romp fare with you? Forgettable or right up there with other classic scary games? Take the poll and discuss and what not. Here's to another week!
