I've never been a huge fan of White Wolf's "Vampire" series. I quite enjoy the World of Darkness system itself, however I've been reluctant to try this particular iteration for the following reason. I've met too many Vampire players who fit an annoying stereotype of teen or twenty-something emo-goth-LARPers who will spend hours telling you about their characters, all the while using the word "I" rather than "my character," showing that their understanding of the line between fantasy and reality has blurred.

Luckily, Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines (V:tMB) manages to provide a single-player Vampire adventure, allowing me to enjoy the system and setting without having to deal with other players. The result is a buggy, but enjoyable title.
