There are lots of video game fan sites out there, some better than others.  If whips and vampires are your forte then you may want to explore The Castlevania Dungeon, a fan site that not only chronicles each game in the Castlevania series, but also explores differences between various versions of familiar titles and even dips into some bizarre marketing and Konami-produced parody titles.  There's also a series timeline and character biographies.  Enjoy your stay, but be back before dark.
