About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

About BloodRayne 2

Scheduled for European release late May and developed by Terminal Reality, BloodRayne 2 expands upon the distinctive features that were the hallmark of its predecessor. With fast-paced acrobatic combat and supernatural powers – BloodRayne 2 also includes new in-game dynamics such as pole combat, rail sliding and advanced melee fighting with fatality moves while still following the desperate story of BloodRayne a woman blessed with the powers of a vampire but cursed with the unquenchable thirst for blood. Built upon a modified version of the Infernal Engine, BloodRayne 2 introduces threatening new bosses, all new environments set within a huge modern day city, a range of new supernatural powers and new motion-captured movements complete with soft-body physics.
