Even though the mythologies of vampirism and lycanthropy are separated by Century’s of folklore and legend they have certainly come together in the past few years both on screen and in video games. If you want to play some video games of your own, now you can over at megareel.com. The ‘Twilight’ saga and the ‘Underworld’ franchise have both bought these two legendary horror figures together on more than one occasion. As has numerous other movies as well as hugely popular TV franchises such as ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’, ‘The Originals’ and of course the Eli Roth produced ‘Hemlock Grove’.
Personally I would side with a werewolf any day of the week. I’ve never really felt an inherent affinity with vampires. And with the likes of authors Stephenie Meyer (‘Twilight’) and L. J. Smith (‘The Vampire Diaries’) watering down the vampire mythology to appease swooning lovelorn teenage girls it’s certainly not made me embrace the sub-genre any further. So given the option to immerse myself into a gaming role as either entity I would most definitely be selecting lycanthropy over vampirism.
Take for instance the online multiplayer game ‘Immortal Day‘ where you can choose to play as a Vampire, Werewolf, Hybrid, Hunter, or Hybrid Zombie. I would feel more empowered as a werewolf. The major drawback does, however, would appear to be the painful transformation process. Still, the promise of added hirsuteness and an extra appetite for red meat does still seem appealing.
