DARKWATCH

Darkwatch, a cool looking new vampire hunting video game is being released TODAY. So, of course I haven't had the chance to play it yet. I'll post a review as soon as I can. Darkwatch Official Site .

Here's a few words from the game's street team site-

"Darkwatch is a cinematic 1st person shooter blending the Vampire-Horror and Western genres…for the first time ever! The game will be available in Fall for PS2 and Xbox.

Please join us. We are the Darkwatch; a mysterious secret society that has protected humanity from evil since the dawn of civilization. We grind our enemies for fuel, fashion their skin into protective cloaks and create weapons designed to exterminate en masse - and we’re the good guys!

As an agent of the Darkwatch you will be sent on missions, receive insider access to the game developers and based on your participation level get the chance to win some truly awesome prizes.

Stay with the Darkwatch, and the Darkwatch shall reward you.

- Your fearless Darkwatch Leader.....Andrew"


Maybe this is the first time the Vampire-Horror Western genres have been blended in a video game, but I'm pretty sure it's not the first time ever in any medium. Heck, I once did it myself, but since that was never published, perhaps it doesn't count.
