Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines
PC Review
Their diet is unnatural, and those who consume it are shunned by society. If discovered, they're driven out by mobs waving pitchforks. Yes, Monster Munch and Iron Bru-scoffing games journalists are a hideous breed, and should be slaughtered in their sleep.Vampires though, just as horrible and eighteen times as sexy, get their own videogames. Vampire: The Bloodline Masquerades differs from your average nibble-'em-up. Yes, there's superhuman powers of the undead and blood-drinking, as seen in ...

A Vampyre Story
PC Review
PC - A Vampyre Story - A Vampyre Story

The concept of an opera-singing vampire, desperate to be a star on the Paris stage, is fantastic adventure game fodder, both for its originality and for the many puzzle-design possibilities in the traditional vampire weaknesses. Every room is a thing of beauty; a glorious mix of Tim Burton and Monkey Island that doesn’t need advanced technology to impress. The music is excellent. ...

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
PC Review
After nearly five years in development, Vanguard has created much buzz in MMO circles. Originally billed as the game that hardcore World of Warcraft players would want to leap into after getting tired of grinding Blizzards end game, and later toned down (if not the game, then at the very least its marketing) to appeal to a wider audience, Vanguards lengthy development has clearly had its share of ups and downs. But despite any hate you may have heard on message boards in the days and weeks ...

Velvet Assassin
PC Review
PC - Velvet Assassin - Velvet Assassin

The story of Violette Szabo, the real ‘Velvet Assassin’, is a deeply unhappy one. She was an Allied secret agent during World War II, but in the middle of only her second mission she was captured, tortured, abused and eventually executed. The perfect story, sixty-six years later, to make a videogame about then. ...

Venice Deluxe
PC Review
Aug 21, 2007 Much sunken treasure has been salvaged by Venice Deluxe, from arcade relics such as Breakout, to Tetris, pinball and even penny drop machines. Retro64s latest feels smart, unique yet never particularly new. From your golden gondola, you fire treasures into sinking palaces. Rather than stick to the first thing they encounter, as in Puzzle Bobble, they ricochet around until they hit either their matching socket or the rising sea. Obstacles abound, from angled bumpers and sliding ...

Vietcong
PC Review
It was Vietcong that made foliage fashionable. Rather than presenting the traditional FPS fare of linear box corridors and buildings, it attempted to knock down the walls, cover the floor with brush, and drape lianas over everything. It almost worked. The good news: Fist Alpha demonstrates what Vietcong could have been. The missions that grace this expansion are far superior to those released a year ago. The bad news: a truly hideous ambush of glitches and game crimes await. Let's focus on the ...

Vigil: Blood Bitterness
PC Review
Sept 17, 2007 What a fascinating game. And what a mess. Its such a shame, as Vigils unique black and white appearance and twisted design could have created something splendid. As it is, its a greater test of patience than skill. Little is explained as you start, letting you try to fathom the meaning of the game for yourself. You play one of four ancient creatures, the other three being dead. Exploring, you learn how they died as you pursue your sworn enemy, Evil. Each of the four is ...

Virtua Tennis 2009
PC Review
PC - Virtua Tennis 2009 - Virtua Tennis 2009

Our grand unified theory of sports games goes like this (Look, we were never any good at physics, so this is our one shot at scientific immortality): first, the controls need to be simple enough to pick up in a few minutes, but have enough scope so that the player can improvise and discover tactics. Second, the gamer needs to see enough of the pitch/court/field to be able to think tactically. ...

Viva Pinata
PC Review
Nov 20, 2007 Viva Pinata stole our hearts with cute candy-filled pinata-on-pinata love-making when it debuted on the 360. Unfortunately, the PC version loses some of the original version's charm due to its late release and crash-prone nature. But if you're willing to put up with the occasional unexpected trip back to your desktop and Microsoft's usual shenanigans - that try to tempt you into buying into their Games for Windows plan with a one month pass - Viva Pinata is still worth checking ...
