I dunno I’m a big fan of point n click games and I loved it, the puzzles were satisfying to work out but not too tough, and the backgrounds were beautiful. Wasn’t THAT keen on the voice acting but apparently they’re improving that.

Also, Masked Dave, I’m pretty sure there’s an option to highlight all the hotpoints on the screen to save the pixel hunting. I dunno, I really enjoyed the demo and really wanna get the full game now

I always thought 1 Peggle should equate to the file-size of the Peggle installer. But instead, it means any old thing! It's all part of that insidious MORAL RELATIVISM that ~~right-wingers tar everyone clearer-headed than themselves with~~ is tearing society apart!!!

Another “DEMO OVER” moment: scraping the moss from a headstone in order to reveal some dates needed for a code. Fair enough.
After some scraping I can read the date and figure out the code. But no, the game does not let me enter it: I have to continue clicking on the moss until the game decides that enough moss has been removed to read the dates…

Also, I’d rather play a vampire than a vampire hunter.

That “red line on map” thing in the trailer makes this game remind me of Indiana Jones, only instead of an archaeologist you’re a vampire and instead of fighting Nazis you fight tedium.

Yes! Vampires, it’s been a while. My favorite- “A completely empty street, which looks like Assassin’s Creed after a bomb scare.”

Igor =! Renfield. As played by the stunningly awesome Tom Waits in Coppola’s film.

See, *these* are the things we need on the About the Editors page. The world needs to know!

I haven’t played the game yet but the “Everyone speaks as though they are dictating their memoirs rather than having a conversation.” quote actually sounded interesting.

Do you mean it is bad dialogue? Or is it playing with the “Dracula” style of writing. Bram Stoker’s book being entirely constructed from characters letter and journal extracts.

Also shouldn’t old Dracula related manuscripts be in Hungarian, Romanian or Turkish or something? Assuming it is related to the book it is taking its name from.

Just curious. Maybe I should just try it I suppose.
