"[June 7th] was quite the day for demos on the Marketplace. In addition to a hearty sampling of the controversial Shadowrun, two other downloads are now available: Tenchu X and Vampire Rain. The recent entries in the Tenchu series were not to my tastes, so I decided to give Vampire Rain a go-after all, it's not every day that Canada gets content that the States doesn't, and I relished the opportunity. Boy, was I ever disappointed.
Developed by Artoon, Vampire Rain boasts a unique premise that mixes stealth-based gameplay and vampire hunting together. As you can imagine, the game plays out like a hybrid of Splinter Cell and Resident Evil: you lurk around corners, stay in the shadows, and pop out only to put away the deranged monsters directly in your path. The demo itself, which clocks in at just under 900 MB, offers two story missions, two time trial missions and some online multiplayer."
Gary Hartley Writes: It's okay. No, really.
Canceled Square Enix game Gun Loco was made by the same company that made Vampire Rain
Siliconera: Two Linkedin profiles point to AQ Interactive, more specifically their Artoon division. Artoon handled Blinx the Time Sweeper, Blue Dragon, and umm… Vampire Rain. The Last Story was sort of an Artoon project too, but by then AQ Interactive de-branded all of their studios into one giant AQ Interactive family.
Ahh, Vampire Rain, the worst "next-gen" game demo I have ever played on Live. It was laughably bad...
GOTY,.. kekekekeke,.. Fucking loco!!!
Ok,.. will try to be nicer to 360 gamers ,.. but this is just ,..omg I cannot stop laughing,.. lololo

There has been plenty of awesome DLC on Marketplace that has helped extend the life of your favourite games thanks to new game modes, weapons, cars or whatever else. Good DLC will rally the Xbox Live community back to the old favourites and provide the perfect excuse to blow the dust off a long neglected game.
Even so, there's been plenty of tat too. Some publishers have seen it as a cheeky excuse to try and squeeze a few extra coins out of eager gamers while other DLC has just been... bad. Plain bad. So which ranks as the worst?
5. Vampire Rain Mission Pack
Description: Extra single player missions..."
Didn't tales of Vesperia have dlc for 1 million gold and to increase your level by 5 of something like that?
I think that was the worst dlc with horse armour not far behind.
Yup, you're right. They did have purchasable money and levels. Sad really.
Don't think that can count as DLC, though, as it's not really content. They did count the money on The Godfather, though, so I guess it'd be fair game in this site's list.
Why does everyone rip on Horse Armor? I liked how it made my horse smexy and whatnot.
The Godfather had DLC were you paid money to get money in the game also they had a complete everything in skate 2 DLC.
Looking purely in terms of what you get, the Stranglehold map pack was good, it had a lot in it as well, the pricepoint may have been a bit too much though.
That thinks this game looks terrible? And its clearly a SplinterCell rip off? Look at the link even they dont have good things to say about this game...
i wouldnt say it looks terrible but i would expect dark wet alleys to have a bit more of a grimey look, everything looks to plain and clean
im looking forward to timeshift and dark sector, now they look hot!
When I saw the first trailers the game and graphics looked great....Now seeing the game play I've pretty much lost interest.
the game play graphics look very last Gen.
