The business of driving back the ghouls of the underworld has always been a gritty one. Never thought it'd be one that Jonathan Harker would get into, though. Jonathan who? If you remember your Vampire Lit 101 lessons, he is the fiancee of Mina Murray, the woman who would be seduced by Count Dracula in the story... and this writer remembered him as a sissy. Then again, this is what he gets for watching Mel Brook's Dracula rather than Bram Stoker's original.

Anyway, 1UP had a bunch of screenshots and concept art, and a GameVideos video trailer for Harker, Foundation 9 and the Collective's definitely-not-sissy undead-killing title for the Xbox 360 (where we first had the preview), the PS3, and the Wii. And as these visually demonstrate, there are a thousand ways to maim, skin, disable, torch, neutralize, eliminate, and otherwise kill ugly vampires.

And the moral of the story? Never, ever, try to hit on the guy's girlfriend. Even if you are Nosferatu himself/itself. You'll just die full of holes, or worse. (Video below is a YouTube upload of GameVideos' trailer)

Harker is due to rise in 2008.

This is going to be awesome. The shear carnage and gore of this game would make even hardcore goths wince, even just a little. I'm definitely going to be vampire slaying later.

It's like Castlevania + The Punisher = Harker



I agree with Azazil, everyone's a graphic wh0re. Besides, 'Fall 08'. TONS of time to make a diamond out of coal.

the dude goes balls out on what seems to be these wimpy s.hit gremlins? right...it screams "did that before" game. Please, of course next-gen games are expensive; crap like this doesn't sell anymore. At least David Jaffe had the audacity to put boobies in his game.
