For reasons unknown, the genre of vampire gameplay has never seemed to hit it big in the gaming market. When you're not effortlessly killing them in some other action title, you probably aren't doing much else involving vampires in gaming, and you are almost certainly not playing as one. This is all about to change, however, as Activision team up with Troika Games and White Wolf Game Studios to produce Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, the vampire simulator to end all, er, vampire simulators. Does it have enough power to sink its teeth into the exposed silky neck of the PC gaming market, or has the blood stream already been sucked dry with recent attempts from other FPS titles?
