Anne Rice. If I'm supposed to be a sexy vampire, I damn well better be able to see my reflection.
I also like the Mosquiton style vampire. They only have "powers" for a short time, & only after they drink blood. Sounds like a good video game monster. "You can kick their asses if they're hungry, but gawd help you if they've eaten."
Another kind I like is Vampires subjugated to science & stripped of almost all fantasy or science fiction elements: Albino humans or elves who drink blood & hate the sunlight because it hurts their eyes & skin. They're not undead, they're not monsters, they have no special abilities, they're not gorgeous, they're not highly intelligent, they're not charming, & they don't have super strength, they're basically on the same levels as Orcs, only weaker & less stupid, & they can be killed easily with guns & swords, which is why they travel in large packs like Kobolds.
