    Seems Leon's been a busy chappy lately. After stopping off at GameSpot the other day, he continued on his merry way to IGN where they <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/493/493776p1.html">had this to say</a>:
    <br><blockquote>We were shown a level in progress in Santa Monica, centered around a beach house. Our Nosferatu had a high awareness level, so when we went to the far side of the picket fence, he noticed that one of the boards was loose, pulled it off, and slipped by the guard at the porch. Then we crept along the side of house, crouching to stay below the window, and cut the power. Inside, an argument started about what was going on and who would deal with it. (The dialogue throughout the game seems to be spice with R-rated language, which may turn some people off but is pretty realistic, considering the environment). Someone came out, we pounced and fed, and at that point the back door was open and we snuck inside.

    <br>While 3rd-person is currently the rule for combat, you can otherwise switch between first and third. The high-level Obfuscate skill looked pretty cool, with a Predator-like shimmering effect. You won't get a load of weapons to choose from at one time, as this is an RPG game with a set amount of inventory space, but keep in mind that vampires are already pretty handy with their bare hands and whatever spells they might have at their disposal.</blockquote>
    <br>No Leon, we like 1st person combat, not 3rd person combat. Bad Leon! Bad!

    <br>At least though, there's something in the game for Temple of Elemental Evil fans:
    <br><blockquote>high-quality voice acting</blockquote>
    <br>Anyway, if you happen to see Leon walking by your place on his way to another gaming site, be sure to give us a holler.
