Vampires aren't the sparkly, "romantic" visions you see in modern depictions like Twilight and The Vampire Diaries. That's dead wrong. They're violent, ravenous creatures with an insatiable thirst for blood. There's nothing glamorous about the children of the night, and everything to be feared.
Luckily, a swath of vampire hunters exist in fiction, video games and otherwise, to protect us -- though, when it comes to video games, we're actually the ones protecting ourselves. Staking and otherwise annihilating the nightwalkers is a strenuous and taxing job. It's definitely not for everyone, and that's why we've narrowed our list down to ten of the best hunters for the task. From the Belmont clan to the tantalizing Rayne, these are ten of the best vampire hunters in gaming.
Grab your stakes and get decked out in garlic. It's a horrible night to have a curse.
