“Ultimate” Updates arrive for BloodRayne and BR2

It wasn’t long ago that vampiric actioner BloodRayne and its sequel got enhanced for the PC. But now both have been bumped up even more.

Ultimate Updates

Do you have fond memories of the action series known as BloodRayne? I’d say chances are you do, since it was a pretty popular little series. Both games star Rayne, a half-vampire who’s made a career of hunting Nazi’s across the globe.

Though there were only two releases under the title, both games were well received. Not that the game’s stories were constrained to the interactive medium, as BloodRayne crossed over into comics and even a movie.

But while we haven’t seen a new entry since the second game saw release, fans just got treated to enhanced editions of both games on the PC. BloodRayne: Terminal Cut and BloodRayne 2: Terminal Cut arirved courtesy of Ziggurat Interactive, who’ve just bumped the games up even more.
