Being A Vampire In This Game Seems Like A Lot of Fun

Dark, a shooter where you play as a vampire, still looks as cool now as it did when we initially saw that it wasn’t about being a sparkly, sensitive bloodsucker.

Shin Megami Tensei IV, the upcoming role playing game by Atlus, is a game about samurai. The protagonist is a samurai, actually. That means you have two mandates: to take care of the demons (would this be an SMT game if that weren’t the case?) and to keep the peace. Also probably more than those…
