GameDynamo - "Konami has been releasing Castlevania games since 1986, and with around 34 games to date, along with numerous tie-ins and even more to come, the canon has evolved along with the cast of characters. Though Dracula is the pricipal antagonist for Castlevania's heroes, we’ve seen them do battle with all sorts of incarnations of evil. Whether struggling within themselves to balance good and evil, finishing up long-standing blood fueds, or chasing after the ghosts of loved ones, the Castlevania series has let us play as an array of great heroes over the years.
GameDynamo has compiled a list of our ten favorites here for you – so sit back, grab your favorite vampire-slaying weapon, and prepare to find out who made the list and who didn’t."

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.
no dracula? oh he can throw down a wine glass like a champ lol
Hm... no Soma? I have yet to play Castlevania games, but I thought he pretty cool
Yay, Richter. Although, Julius Belmont needs on this list.
I grew up during the 80s & 90s, and my most memorable Castlevania hero is Simon Belmont.
The top three were pretty obvious... But Gabriel? Seriously?
