Hellsing

I know what you are thinking another anime nerd from washington, But seriosly guys this is amazing. Even if you hate anime (even though its awesome) you will like this .  It is about a Alpha Vampire named  Alucard Who is working in secret with the British government to destroy and cover up people who have become vampires in recent years.  Blood & Gore are everywhere in this show,  Alucard carrys a 35 pound pistol that can blow a whole in a person the size of a basketball, But if that doesnt work he will just rip off a body part piece by piece.  This is a very well thought out Anime, 13 episodes i believe is what it came out to be.   It starts with Alucard hiring a new recruit who has to learn to deal with her new fetish for drinking and aquiring blood.  Even though there are massive amounts of Blood & Gore the story is quiet amazing, I guarentee you will put this in your cowboy bebop Tier.

Well this game is all of that and more, It is a singleplayer Space simulator.   You start out in first person view in a small space ship near a trading port with a small amount of money. You slowly trade and build up yourself to the point where you are the Domninating power in the universe.  Hundreds of Customizable ships, Thousands of items and upgrades, And a AI that is similar to Oblivions, Each other ship has its needs and permissions and jobs that it needs to accomplish, Making the enviroment in this game the closest to perfect space sim currently available.  You can own your own space stations, Captiol Ships, And hire other ships to trade for you after a point and make your own company.
