Some if not all of you should be at least be familiar with the rather popular table top/PC games Vampire The Masquerade games. Their newest one that just came out not long ago called Bloodlines is quite fun if I do say so myself.
As it goes story wise, you're a newly "sired" vampire that's caught in the middle of a power struggle and a vampire "prince" is attempting to gain/release a great power.
Good RPG/action elements involved in the game, with a good variety on how to handle different situations (lockpicking, hacking, sneaking, ranged, melee, persuading, seducing, threatening, ect.) to accomplish your goals.
The graphics are using the HL2 source engine so they are pretty good, although I think the char design could use a weee bit of work since some of them are a bit generic looking and not much variety between them but it's the content of the gameplay that counts for it to be a fun game.
Good music (if you're an industrial fan especially) and for you Collide fans there are posters of them scattered here and there, sadly I've yet to find any of their music in-game but I haven't beaten it yet so I'm still hopefull.
The biggest issue with the game is, it was released WAYYYYY to early and in it's current unpatched state is VERY buggy and has horrid memory leaks which makes the game nearly unplayable. From what I've heard the game devs (Troika) were rushed to release the game and they wern't fully finished debugging the game. So if you do pick the game up I'd suggest to wait until they have a patch out for it to fix the bugs so you can enjoy it more.
