    There's a <a href="http://www.armchairempire.com/Reviews/PC%20Games/vampire-masquerade-bloodlines.htm">review of Bloodlines</a> up on <a href="http://www.armchairempire.com/">Armchair Empire</a>. Here's a quodgit:
    <blockquote>When all is said and done, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is an above average bit of RPG goodness, with some added mechanics, and all of it's served up in a very eye-catching package. And yes, there were several things that were done in the wrong way in this game, but there were a great many more that were done right.

    Pros:
    - Smooth graphics thanks to the Source engine
    - Involving storyline, with many sidequests
    - Clear goals, good pacing

    Cons:
    - Can lag at times, even on a good machine
    - Character creation system
    - Several of the Vampire 'Clans' are made unplayable by the lack of dialogue options that avoid combat.
    - Weak ending</blockquote>
    Overall they gave it 8.4 out of 10.
