    From ex-LucasArts alum Bill Tiller comes a new family adventure about a Vampire who dreams of being an opera singer and her quest to make her way to Paris and become a star. Is A Vampyre Story another classic adventure, or is the reek of garlic too much to bear?

    :sigh:

    Hmm... I've been waiting for this one for some time.. was hoping it would be better, I've tried the demo and I do find the main character's voice grating.. ah well I'll wait a while

    "but A Vampyre Story bucks the trend somewhat by being a totally three dimensional game controlled using a special cod-piece for players to thrust into and, um, point with. "
    You do not know how many people you just inspired to make a new controller. The "Codtroller" if you will.

    After so many actions and voilent with our FPS/ACT games, i really need to get some fresh air ...
    Though im not a mega fan of adventure genre, A Vampyre Story does offer me some mind blower... pretty good

    The conceptual arts are really nice ,...
    and, .. those humour packed puzzles, richly developed characters give me so much fun to play with.
    The only headache is i cant fig out why this game sticks to 1024x768 and a lots of terriblly coarse-edged low-poly models... just like what joe have said -- a few more polys couldn't have hurt....
