Dracula: Origin... the game that's supposed to suck!

Okay, I guess I can see why that won't catch on as a slogan. But any game named after the most memorable vampire of all time is bound to have a little blood slurpage involved. Of course, in Frogwares' new gothic adventure, the goal will be to prevent such nocturnal feeding horrors, armed only with your wits, your courage, and maybe a few whiffs of garlic.

In Dracula: Origin, players assume the role of famed vampire hunter Professor Van Helsing. After receiving a disturbing letter from Translyvania, Van Helsing sets out to stop the notorious Count from discovering an ancient manuscript capable of bringing the soul of his long-lost love back from the dead. The adventure takes players from London to Egypt and eventually into Carpathian Europe, presenting many trials and tests along the way to a final confrontation with Dracula himself.

To coincide with the international release of Dracula: Origin, we are pleased to offer three free copies of the game, courtesy of The Adventure Company. Of course, we're not just giving them away; you're going to have to earn them by answering the three virtually impossible quiz questions below. Sure, it's a pain in the neck, but you'll be thanking us later, as you'll need your mind as sharp as your stakes to make it through the game alive. There's no need to wing it, though. All the answers you need can be found either in our preview of the game or the official website.

The contest is open for one week, ending Friday, June 13th, so get your entry in today. Good luck! And to some… good bye.
