For a long time, I kept telling myself that White Wolf wouldn't dare to even look at the video game market ever again after what happened with Bloodlines - but I'm glad that I was wrong.

It's the second decade of the 21st century and Vampire: The Masquerade- Bloodlines 2, Coteries of New York, and Swansong have brought WoD's iconic Vampire IP back to the video game scene.

Also for those who like this type of game a better game called Nighthawks was funded on kickstarter, and it was inspired by Bloodlines. Give it a look if you're interested.

Can't speak for others but I'm not a fan of visual text novels. Never was actually. So for me I'm more excited about Bloodlines 2 & Earth-blood. Thanks for the article though.

Yeah, Nighthawks looks great. But I'm really concerned for Earthblood.

I think Earthblood could be a pretty cool PS2-era action game, at least from what I saw so far.

Don't think it will have any value as an RPG, though, which is a bit of a bummer…

His review pretty much sold this game for me.. I am glad it is not simply a linear on the rails action rpg, which I strongly suspected it was….. Of course I will probably wait for reviews by the appropriate fans as well.
