Aside from showing off tantalizing trailers of Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill V, Konami had some games at E3 that were actually playable. Among the most intriguing is the PSP title Dracula X Chronicles. The game will feature a 2.5 dimensional remake of the 1993 Super Famicom classic Rondo of Blood, with characters redesigned by series illustrator Ayami Kojima. A remixed soundtrack and CG cutscenes are not the only thing to be thrown into the mix. The Playstation title Symphony of the Night will be packed into the UMD disc, spruced up with new voice acting. The two games are sequentially ordered, with Richter Belmont’s fight against Dracula memorably kicking things off in the Playstation title. Incidentally, Rondo and Symphony were the first Castlevania games to incorporate styles of music into their titles.

For fans of the sidescroller genre this is looking like a good pick to go alongside the slimmer PSP.
