Midnight in Santa Monica has this sort of a genuine perception of location, and booting up the video game again I continue to recall my initially crumbling condominium above a pawn shop, with an Instant Cash advert-mural on the wall. Bloodlines is dirty and sexy, but also horrible and a little bit frightening, but also, somehow, true. On the face of it, Bloodlines does not audio like a match that must rank in anyone’s favourites.
