For those of you who don't know about this game yet, I thought it deserved a mention seeing as it's got zero hype.
Blood Rayne is set in World War II and you play as a half-human, half-vampire trying to stop the Nazis from dabbling in the occult, attempting to get some supernatural aid to win the war. But don't worry, it has nothing to do with Raiders of the Lost Ark at all.
Anyway it's played in a Max Payne style of way, except it's going to be sooooo much better. Firstly it has a groovy combat system, you can hold a weapon in each hand, choose which weapon you want in each hand and target two different enemies at once. Also being a vampire you can suck the blood and all that stuff you'd expect, you can also fight with silky martial arts skills, and she has a pair of retractable blades on her arms for disemboweling fun :) And yes, theres 'bullet time' in it to.
Also, she has four different view types, like the Aliens or Predator in AvP. And they are: normal vision, dilated perception, aura vision and extruded view (a sort of sniper mode I beleive).
And after you hack people up and stuff, their bodies (not to mention all the blood splattered up the walls and stuff) sticks around so you can see the result of your carnage :)
Anyway, I wrote this from what I could remember out of NGC, so if you don't have that issue then you should check it out. They say it's like 'Max Payne meets Blade'.
They even gave it a 4/5 anticipation rating :D

Is this a GC exclusive?
Sounds good anyway.
