We're not sure whether or not it's actually ironic that Vampire's Rain is the only game being released on Xbox 360 this week, but given its premise -- Splinter Cell with vampires instead of terrorists -- we're pretty sure that it is, at least, akin to ray-eee-ain on your wedding day. A quick search reveals that critics seem to agree. Ah well, we can't have new blockbusters every week, right? If we did, how would we play them all? Yeah, that's probably the best way to look at this. Just consider this week as a reprieve for your aching wallet.
Shipping this week: it's like ray-eee-ain edition

1. Vampires need never mix with Alanis Morisette. Just a heads up.
Well..I'd let her bite me..but..anyway.. Besides her overrated music, she dated Dave Coulier;'Full House's Uncle Joey. That alone makes the whole vampire ref a little watered down.. (heh heh..get it, 'watered down?')
