Another two-fer this week brings us two completely different kinds of games. The first one's a classic point-and-click graphical adventure in the style of the great LucasArts classics, and the other's a straight-up twitch-fest that will have your skin wriggling. Both are yours after the break!

After a few years of development, Autumn Moon Entertainment finally released their PC adventure game A Vampyre Story last fall. Apparently the game was successful enough that the developer has decided to announce a sequel with the appropriate title A Vampyre Story 2.

Autumn Moon has already launched a teaser web site for the game which presents some early screenshots and info for the title. As before the game stars opera singer turned vampire Mona de Laffite. In the sequel de Laffite is being held by Dr. Riga Mortus. You have to free her by controlling her pet bat Froderick through a series of point-and-click adventures. As with the first game the sequel will have development input from a number of former LucasArts adventure game creators. No release date has been announced.

The game download service Gamersgate doesn't get as much attention as other similar services but the company also has it's share of exclusives. Today Gamersgate added two new games to their line-up. The first is A Vampyre Story, the long-in-development adventure game made by Autumn Moon Entertainment, founded by former LucasArts adventure team members. The storyline has you playing the role of a young French opera star that's being held captive by a vampire. The game costs $29.99 to download. You can try out the demo right here at Big Download.

The other exclusive is for Europa Universalis Rome Vae Victis, the expansion pack to Paradox Interactive's historical strategy game. The expansion concentrates on the Roman Senate where you will have to deal with the many members and parties in order to have your goals as leader of the Roman Empire accomplished. You have to make sure the ruling party votes for issues in your favor and have them pass laws that you want to see past. The expansion will also have things like updated military AI and an overhauled interface. The expansion is only $9.99 to download.

This demo is for A Vampyre Story, a point-and-click adventure game written by Bill Tiller, who also worked on classic LucasArts games like Steven Spielberg's The Dig and The Curse of Monkey Island. The game combines classic adventure gameplay with updated 3D graphics. The full game is currently scheduled to release on November 25. Check the official website for more details.
