OK, at the risk of appearing like a major-league geek, I'm going to post this.
Around 3 years ago a PC game called "Vampire- The masquerade: Bloodlines" was released. It was an role-playing game, but not full of 12-side dice, etc. It worked like a First-person shooter, and was reminiscent of the other PC classic "Dues Ex".
The game was hugely ambitious and bugged to hell! Almost unplayable.
Well, it's since been picked up by Valve (of Half-life and HL2 fame) and there's a fan-made patch which makes it worth playing.
Why do I mention all this?
It's a Bizarist's dream. Think of all the best bits of Anne Rice, Sokolow, Stoker, the Blade trilogy and George RR Martin (BTW anyone else loved 'Fevre Dream' (sic)?? Is it still in print??) - and best of all its interactive.
Check out Valve - you can buy it for only $20.

This game is actually a sequel to Vampire - Redemption, which despite it's more primitive graphics, also does a good job of describing a rich world of vampire lore for a computer game.

Both games are great (in spite of their bugs) and I second Docsteve's recommendation of these as being of great interest to anyone who likes vampire storylines. Obviously some interest in computer games is necessary as well.

As a fellow RPG "geek" (heck, I'm the psych consultant to WOTC, Chaosium and various other companies)... yay! This was one of the little known games that had a special "perception" of the scenes if you had certain vampire powers versus not... I and a group of computer game desingers are creating something very bizarre for medical simulations that simulates psychosis

Good heads up, Doc Steve!

I am a huge fan of "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem" for the GameCube.

Here is something to date people... anyone remember playing those wonderful ancient computer RPG "Temple of Aphsai" "Hellfire Warrior" "Morloc's Tower" "Datestones of Ryn"... etc? I wish someone would re-release those!

I just can't wait to see Call of Cthulhu; Dark Corners of the Earth, beign released for PC ... I am a huge CoC geek as the good Dr Spektor knows.

The White Wolf version is good, but I'm a fan of the GURPS version, myself:

WHITE WOLF: http://www.white-wolf.com/vampire.html
GURPS: http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/VampireTheMasquerade/

Not to mention a "Vampire the Requiem/ Masquerade" L.A.R.P. event is an excellent venue for a certain type of bizarrist magician.

And when you are the gamemaster of a group.. its fun to add some effects during play! It rises the mood enormously! Its more like "Pen, Paper & Magick" then...
