You know ? The Showtime series about Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C. Hall), full-time blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department as well as surreptitious serial killer? Guy who fingers rows of blood-smeared microscope slides? Best cinematographic title sequence in the history of modern television?

How many games let you play as a serial killer? Okay, probably more than one, though that probably depends on your definition of both "serial" and "killer." But how many serial-killer-playing-games are based on TV shows that can say they made you root for a gleefully violent guy who wraps human victims in swathes of industrial plastic, taunts them with pictures of their victims, then plunges a butcher knife through their sternum and into their hearts?

That's right, just one.

In Dexter The Game, you probe "fully realized 3D environments" as Dexter--voiced by show star Michael C. Hall himself--dissecting crime scenes, unearthing evidence, and employing stealth mechanics to hunt your victims. The catch? As in the show, Dexter follows a code (it's mutating in the show, but the game follows season one): Only kill the guilty, maintain your "mask," and above all, don't get caught.
