True Blood, the popular series that centers around Sookie Stackhouse and her adventures with vampires, shapeshifters and the supernatural, looks to be headed for a video game adaptation.

A recent trademark filing with the US Patent & Trademark Office shows HBO is interested in giving the show a full video game treatment, though there are no additional details at this time.

True Blood joins Dexter as a series you wouldn't expect to see as a game, but it's a testament to how the video game industry has grown in acceptance over the past year. Dexter, based on the critically-acclaimed Showtime show, recently hit the iPhone to good reviews.

While we wait for details on the True Blood game, we can't help but wonder what the game would be all about. Would it center around Bill and his old fashioned vamp ways ("Sookehhh!") or are we wanting to get into Lafayette's (high-heeled) shoes for a little ass-kicking action?

And if you haven't seen the show yet, get the first season on DVD right now. You'll get (wait for it) sucked in!
