Of course, there's no word of what the game -- if one ever comes to sunlight -- will entail. HBO's never really sunk its teeth into major video game development before. Anyone remember those Sopranos games?

They're an important mythological symbol in our culture, and have been for a while. They're not going away. They may leave the mainstream, but vampire stories will continue to evolve with us.

I'd like to point out that the Vampire Diaries were written first, THEN the True Blood novels, Twilight wasn't until around 2005.

I vote we focus our attention on the Chupacabra.

I guess someone forgot that vampires are super-powerful creatures of the undead and turned them into the kinds of people you see on posters in your girlfriend's room.

Hey here's an idea: try watching the show!
It has a lot more than vampires, and its guaranteed to hook you in. There's a reason why this show is critically acclaimed. ALSO this is a very adult oriented show i.e. the heart cooking scene, vampires ripping humans to shreds (with a LOT of gore), or even vampires being staked (SPLAT!), and tons of nudity, which c'mon... is what people want to see.
To anyone who thinks this is just a twilight ripoff, well it just shows how uniformed you are. Why not actually make a valid opinion by watching it (like me) instead of whining about how sick you are of vampires, or pretending to know what you're talking about (cough Marius.. cough)... Besides HBO has a pretty good track record, so why not?

Because violence and sexuality equal maturity. Personally, I'm not a huge vampire fan. Shut the fuck up and deal with it.

I'm not a vampire "fan" so to speak, but I great show is a great show. I couldn't care less about Dracula and I get douche-chills when I here anything about Twilight, but True Blood is great. It's well written, great characters, adult oriented and overall it is very entertaining. I don't know if a True Blood game would be any good though.

You can replace the right picture with everyone in True Blood as well.

Sorry I offended you, kiddo. I tend to equate mature with adult oriented.
And yeah, I've watched the show, but didn't care for it.

True Blood is full of sex and sexy people having sex. I thought all you male readers were totally into that sort of thing. :P
Please do not lump True Blood in with the other stuff. That's like saying Lord of the Rings is the same as Harry Potter, like Star Trek is the same thing as Mass Effect. Same general subject matter != same thing.
I will admit though that I think True Blood is targeted towards those who like men, because it's the sexy male vampires that keep friends and me watching. I am IN LOVE with Bill.

Personally, I watch True Blood for two reasons:
1. It's on right before Hung and Entourage
2. Anna Paquin's naughty bits
You can't go wrong with naughty bits.

True Blood is awesome. Sex. A little gore. Cheese. A little comedy. And a bit more sex. Throw in some eating of hearts, and what's not to like?
Some people are just too picky I guess.

Holy crap, that's such a bad show. My girlfriend made me watch an episode the other day and I couldn't take it for more than about 30 minutes. The horrible Southern accents and ridiculous sex scenes (not too mention the plot) were just too much for me.
I asked her why she watched this crap and she told me "It's cheesier than Twilight!" I was like, "That's a selling point?!"

Look man, did I rape your mother? Did I punch your dog? Did I fucking stab you in the eye? No? Then go troll somewhere else.
If you didn't like my story, you didn't have to respond to it. It's as simple as that. Christ, Joystiq is filled with trolls these days.

I've had a love affair with vampires ever since I dressed as Dracula for Halloween when I was 4 (and then again at 5 and 6). With that in mind, I feel I can say that we are totally over-saturated with vampire media. Totally and completely. I can't stand the teenie vampire romances (Twilight being the latest offender.) I myself am a fan of the brutal, and sometimes aristocratic vampire.
Anyway
I watch this show regularly. I find it a little trashy, but funny enough to keep me going. I wont touch any videogame adaptation with a ten-foot-poll.
