At this point, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is essentially done. This action role-playing game, based on White Wolf's popular supernatural pen-and-paper RPG and built on Half-Life 2's Source engine, is due out later this month. So there's not much left for the developers at Troika to do other than to sit back and relax. In fact, we saw all three Troika cofounders hanging out in the corner of a recent Los Angeles press event for the game, watching as the members of the media got one last look at Bloodlines before it ships. That included us, and we finally got our first hands-on time with Bloodlines since the game was announced last year.
