Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 demo now on Steam

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

All Gabriel "Dracula" Belmont wants to do is be left in peace. He longs to stare into the night sky and occasionally feast on the blood of the pure, but that stupid Satan just won't stop showing up and kicking over Dracula's Gothic sand castle. We'll soon get to stick our Void Swords right in the Devil's derriere when Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 hits PCs on February 25, but at least we can sate our bloodthirst in the meantime with the free demo available on Steam along with a 10 percent cut of the $60 pre-order price.

Besides Satan, Dracula also has to deal with the rest of the Belmont clan hunting after him, including his son Alucard and a few other shadowy characters . Because nothing gets in the way of family bonding more than an undead patriarch who'll never show up to beach parties.

Get the demo from Steam , and check out more trailers and screenshots for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2.
