Jim Sterling, who at the time was a reviews editor for Destructoid, went so far as putting it on his top 10 worst games of 2011 for its terrible controls and handling and obscene number of enemies thrown at the player.^[21]

411Mania gave the PS3 version 8.5 out of ten and called it 'a fantastic experience that old-school gamers shouldn't pass up.'^[16] However, The Digital Fix gave the same console version 6 out of 10 and said it 'will appeal to a particular kind of gaming masochist [..] For the rest of us, the imprecise controls, frequent deaths and lack of a difficulty selector make this an experience just too frustrating to be enjoyable.'^[22]Metro gave the Xbox 360 version five out of ten, stating, 'Never has so promising a game been ruined by such a perversely high difficultly level, which is a crying shame given the gorgeous 2D art.'^[17]

In the Eighteenth Century, Rayne is the half-human half-vampire Dhampir and the lead attraction in a carnival's freak-show in Romania. When she escapes, she meets a fortuneteller that tells that her mother was raped by the king of the vampires Kagan and she decides to destroy her father. In her journey for revenge, she meets Vladimir and Sebastian, the leaders of the fortress of vampire hunters Brimstone, and she joins their society. She seeks for powerful talismans to defeat Kagan, while the skilled warriors Vladimir and Sebastian train her to face the forces of Kagan and her human side falls in love with Sebastian. Where to start with this one?

I'll point out that i watched it only because i heard that Kristanna Loken shows her boobies here. I didn't play the game nor have i known anything about the plot from that point of view. So i'm writing this solely on the movie experience. I must point out that the movie has its good sides. Most notably Ben Kingsleys horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE wig.

I couldn't stop myself to burst into laughter anytime he was on screen. Its simply hilarious and worth the admission price alone.

Another good thing is the guy with the mullet (Matthew Davis). He looked almost as ridiculous as Ben Kingsley with a wig. By the way, I had no idea that mullets were that popular in 19th century Romania but the filmmakers sure proved me wrong. Maximum respect for the mullet Matthew, wear it proudly.

Of course you do get to see Kristanna Lokens boobs in a raunchy, makes no sense at all, sex scene so that also is a good thing. I must point out that fight scenes, although they occur pretty rarely, are pretty rich with gore. They really surprised me there and i must say that i wasn't disappointed by that aspect of the movie. And you wont be either. Of course if you aren't into the bloody mess type of stuff the fight scenes will suck. But hey, who isn't into bloodbaths anyway?

So some really good stuff there as well. Now for the not so great aspects of the movie. First of all the dialogs are completely and utterly, mind numbingly stupid. Its like a 6 year old wrote all the dialogs.

The screenplay is very bad too. Think 'American Ninja 2' in 19th century Romania when you think about the screenplay and dialogs in the movie.

Really, really naive and infantile stuff there. Also they stole one ninja trick from American Ninja 2, you'll see it in one of the final scenes in the movie. I guess you could call it a homage to it though. Come to think of it, no, you couldn't. Its just plane old plagiarism.

Acting sucks too. Ben Kingsley just stares in the camera with his bad wig, Kristanna Loken does a lot of moaning and thats about it. Don't expect wonders from Michael Madsen either. Billy Zane does his thing regardless of anything, so if you like his style he could be acceptable. Oh yeah, they have a MeatLoaf cameo. Now thats what i call weak.

Then again, the topless babes in his scenes totally make up for his fat ass. The director Uwe Boll isn't really that bad as people say he is. He gave us blood and tits, yes.

Depression Quest, an award-winning, text-based video game seeks to give people a window into the experience of depression. It's a sort of Choose Your Own Adventure-esque setup. Your character is a depressed person in his or her mid-20s, working a mundane job, and navigating through life. But, here, you encounter these hurdles as a person with depression. Depression quest video game. In the game, your avatar struggles with things that many of us struggle with, at one time or another: not feeling successful enough; not feeling secure in our relationships; not knowing how to talk about how we're feeling.

And in a pretty good way, i might add. But he delivered nothing more. Blood and tits go without saying for modern day directors anyway.

So i'll point out that he sucks as well but not as much as meatloaf. Although this movie is really bad I'm not sorry i watched it. If you want watch it and if you'll appreciate the trashy aspects in the movie you wont be sorry either.

I'll give this one a 4/10.
