A sequel to the Japanese only release Dracula X; Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night threw out the level by level based gameplay of all the previous entries and created an absolutly massive castle that could be fully explored at will with items and abilities scattered about the castle in the same style as Metroid games but with added RPG elements like levelling, shops, equipment and street fighter style special abilities. This was effectivly where the term MetroidVania came from and has become a genre in itself since.

Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.
What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.
A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.
IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.
Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.
But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.
But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.
Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.
I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.
Inspiration is a big part of the game industry, but if a game is inspired by another does it cheapen the experience? CGM's Jordan Biordi tries to examine the concept.
One of gaming's finest moments.
Would love for Konami to HD remake this one.
One of the best another great game I played on Playstation
One of the best soundtracks...damn what happened to gaming?
I wish we had a 2D only gaming system so some of these gems could flourish..
that game had so much to offer, way ahead of its time.
