Boot Disk: Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption
Sometimes you just need to sit down, slide a floppy into your A: drive, and enjoy gaming retro style. We know this all too well! That's why we have a list of the best and brightest from days long gone. These are some of our favorite games of all time, and we're sure that you'll love them as much as we do, if not more. Welcome to Boot Disk, and enjoy the retro ride!
Some RPGs, like Planescape Torment, are intense, story-driven affairs that rely on drawing the player into a network of intrigue and complicated choices. Others, like Diablo, are fast-paced action with minimal story that causes uncontrollable addiction to the increase of stats and gathering of "phat lewts". Then there's Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption (hereafter referred to simply as Vampire Redemption or Redemption). It mixes fast-paced Diablo-esque combat with a heavy focus on story to craft a dark gothic-punk world of betrayal and mystery. Since it was recently re-released on GoG.com, just about anyone can experience the first (and arguably best) World of Darkness game to ever be released.



Although I think Bloodlines is the slightly better game, I still like Redemption almost as much. I've never beaten it, though, but I still go back from time to time and eek out some progression in the game. Even though a lot of people disliked it, I thought it was pretty underrated.
Also, I think Hunter: The Reckoning is a pretty decent WoD game as well. Then again, I remember most people hating it as well. It still sits in my (now) old Xbox collection. I should pick up that game again as well.Posted at 10:29PM on Feb 23rd 2010 by that guy rom
