Every self-respecting geek has dreamed of being a vampire at least once in their lives. Immortality, incredible power, and drop-dead gorgeous good looks are all temptations that might draw a person to live the life of the undead. In Joymax's horror-based MMO Darkeden, you're given the opportunity to play as a vampire or a vampire slayer, and the PvP possibilities are endless. The game has been on Cody "Micajah" Bye's radar for a long, long time, and he finally took the game for a spin. How did it fare? Read his Darkeden review to find out more!

With all that behind me, I finally got into the meat and bones of Darkeden. Or at least, what should have been the meat and bones. At character creation, you’re given the option of selecting three different races – Ouster, Slayer, and Vampire – each of which has its own particular playstyle and advancement system. While Vampires use a level-based system to advance, Slayers progress by gradually building up their skills through weapon usage. Ousters are like a combination of the other two classes. From the outset, it’s made readily apparent that both the Ouster and the Vampire – at least in the beginning – grossly overpower the Slayer.
"To make matters worse, people that play Vampires in Darkeden are probably the most childish, ignorant bastards I’ve ever encountered in an online space."
Best line ever
Sorry you had to go through that kind of pain and suffering!
Yeah, Kudos to you Cody for possessing the fortitude to withstand the avalanche of suck! The whole story of Vamp vs. Vamp hunter sounded cool but wow... yeah, I guess it ends there huh.
So does this mean we're starting a TTH guild!?!?!?! WOOT!!
