That's it boys, the console war is finally over. You can roll out the red carpet and welcome your new king, as publisher AQ interactive confirms that Vampire Rain, up until now a hot Xbox 360 exclusive, is coming to the PlayStation 3.
For the past year, Sony and Microsoft have tussled over those all-important exclusives. Sony would love Gears of War, while Microsoft would consider Metal Gear Solid quite the coup. However, the latter company has always had the edge thanks to Vampire Rain. The horror game is a unique blend of underpowered weaponry and shoddily stitched together stealth that gamers found irresistible. Quite simply, it is the best game the 360 has ever had, and losing its exclusivity is going to be devastating for the company.
While analysts are not predicting total bankruptcy for Microsoft, it is rumored that this announcement will be a financial nightmare, and could very likely see MS selling its games division to Kentucky Fried Chicken. Once the renamed Vampire Rain: Altered Species hits the PlayStation 3, it is believed that Sony stock will rise so high that Wall Street will actually bleed -- real blood will seep from building walls and paving slabs as the location itself hemorrhages under the pressure of pure concentrated profit.
Hope you enjoyed the console war while it lasted. At least the dream of a Windows Vista blended with eleven herbs and spices will now be a reality.
Wait you're joking right? I've maybe heard of this game...once?
WTF IS VAMPIRE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!11
F&(#! That POS game is coming to the PS3? I know someone at Microsoft is laughing their ass off right now. Spread the love? More like spread the pain.
Farewell Microsoft... And to think they wasted all that money getting exclusive episodic content for GTA IV instead of locking up Vampire Rain.
Ah Jim, your sarcasm makes me <3 you.
hahahahahahaha. Jim you are too much sometimes. The walls will actually bleed... hahaha
LMFAO!!
Vampire Rain..the most Godawful game since Two Worlds.
What is Vampire Rain? Stuttering Craig said it best
Never heard of this game before and I think there was a good reason for it.
I freakin' love you Jim.
Sarcasm FTW! Vampire Rain. How could it fail? It's like Splinter Cell with Vampires...
LOL?
This article gave me such a great laugh. Bravo.
Yeah, so a mediocre (at best) barely heard of 360 game is coming to ps3 now. Not such a big deal for us gamers.
But take a look at the bigger picture. This means publishers now consider it profitable to port to the ps3, even if the game is not a guaranteed big seller. Perhaps this means developers have finally wrapped their heads around the ps3's hardware and can port without too much difficulty. If this is true then there will be less of an incentive for publishers/developers to keep their games exclusive to the 360.
fucking fanboy
Does Sterling's acerbic wit know any bounds? Nay.
lmfao!
Vampire Rain....WTF?!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNNN
Best game ever?
Vampire Rain is coming home.
I am selling my 360 this sucks :(
It wasn't THAT bad.
I kinda liked fighting vampires that could rip you in half, like vampires SHOULD be.
IT'S OVER
MICROSOFT IS FINISHED
vampire rain, microsofts now feeling sony's pain.
vampire rain, you'll never need to play another game.
vampire rain, something something something ryhmes with rain.
vampire rain, shoot me.
OMG Jim ur such a sony fanboi!!!!
I don't know how Microsoft will battle back from this. I think they should just commit seppuku just because of the huge moral victory for Sony
Vampire Rain = featured in Screwattack.com's SAGYs last year but lost to Hour of Victory..
Just pass the excrement along, why don't you, M$?
Billie and his pals are giving themselves high 5s and slaps on the back for this one, eh, fellars? This really takes the saying 'Give the dog some scraps' a whole new dimension!
is this a joke
Admit it, it's probably better than most the games on PS3 right now...
Good stuff. :) Share the pain
doesn't matter on which console it is to me, it just has to be really good...

i really feel bad for people who cant pick up on sarcasm.
I feel almost as bad for the people who do get it and think they deserve a cookie for it.
Oh this isn't over! microsoft still has the bomberman exclusive!
It's more of a brown rain, isn't?
Efing epic Jim! I was laughing my ass off here at the office.
ch-ch-chocolate c-c-c-combo rain!!!
Jim I love your writing style, Sarcasim up the ass.
Vampirerain was one of those games which had around 0 Hype and didn't meet expectations I don't even know why they even bothered with this title.
yur funny
Screw it! So long as it isn't a full price title I am definitely fucking down for some vampire killing on the PS3! FTW!
Hopefully they fixed the save/checkpoint issue.
DAMMIT I WANTED THE FIRST CHOCOLATE RAIN JOKE
Jim, I laughed so hard at that caption. And of course, your sarcasm is priceless, as always.
Hells_666: I know you love projecting gay fantasy, but I really don't want to have to get your banned for your homophobic bullshit, so I would politely suggest you cut it out. It wasn't funny the last time you did it either, child.
I heard the ps3 version will have the Vampires AND Rain which was lacking from the 360 version (actually, i'm not sure about the rain).

Hmmm. Lord Sterling waving the Ban stick around. Me thinks our euro-scarcastic contributer is letting his puppets get to him.
