An official website has launched for Harker, the Collective's Dracula themed action game. The site gives a brief rundown of the game (you're a guy named Harker and you kill a lot of vampires, 'nuff said). There are also some screenshots, concept art, and a gruesome, bloody trailer for your enjoyment. The graphics look sharp and the visceral combat that the development team is so keen on promoting looks like brutal fun. Harker has all kinds of combat abilities at his disposal. Apart from the requisite stakes, he's got a nice big cross, a bite guard on his forearm, and some nice environment-based attacks as well. Harker's not too bad at pounding nosferatu with his bare fists either. Check out the video after the break (not for the faint of heart).
Absolutely ruthless. We love it.

Interesting.
Jonathan Harker is of course the "protagonist" from the original Dracula novel. Dr. Quincy Harker (his son) is one of the characters from Marvel's 1970s Tomb of Dracula comics.
The Tomb of Dracula comics, set in the modern era, featured Blade, a vampire hunter with his own thirst for blood.
The Blade films featured vampire disintegration effects exactly like those featured in this videogame.
I wonder which Harker this is, and whether or not it is somehow Marvel licensed?
