This past year there have been an absolute load of announcements for games coming out in 2012 and beyond. There were also some good game releases last year as well. But there has been something that has been niggling me about some of the latest announcements which make me think that game developers are fixing things before they are broken. I.E. Rebooting game franchises. In some respects some games need in but most of the time games don’t need a [...]
Announced last September, the news of DmC: Devil May Cry left an awful taste in my mouth. Capcom and Ninja Theory’s new version of Dante seemingly ruined the very essence of Dante, turning him from a fun-loving joker into a moody teenager, and changing his entire look and voice. As a huge fan of the original games, and with a lot of questions left unanswered (chiefly, why does Nero have Sparda powers and a magic arm?), the last thing I wanted [...]
As you probably know by now, when it comes to the Devil May Cry series, both myself and Leon love the whole franchise, I was bitten by the DMC bug when Leon bought me Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition for my birthday donkey’s years ago. So when the news hits of a new Devil May Cry game we jump for joy. Lately though the latest outing for the devil hunter Dante, Devil May Cry 4, missed the mark a [...]
In the past few months there have been an absolute load of announcements for games coming out in 2011 and beyond. There were also some good game releases last year as well.

OK, my post the other day was somewhat interested in the idea of a new DmC. The idea that Capcom, even alongside Ninja Theory, could continue upon the franchise and hopefully answer some of the many questions that were left open in DMC4. Why did Nero look so much like a Son of Sparda? What really happened to Vergil, and what was his connection with Nero? And would Dante ever hook up with Lady? (OK that last one wasn’t really [...]
Devil May Cry for me has to be one of the best game franchises out there. Devil May Cry 3 being the very title to get me into the hack and slash genre and indeed the best title of the series in my opinion, that particular game had one of the most bad ass protagonists I had ever seen, plus an amazing battle system and a really good story line that had Dante’s Devine Comedy over tones mixed with good [...]
With TGS approaching ever closer, this is the time of year for new info in the gaming world, which often brings its own surprises. With all the hype over Halo: Reach, and with me personally playing Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep whenever I have a free moment – I hadn’t been paying too much attention over the last few days. But now, something I couldn’t possibly ignore came to light. Capcom have officially announced a new Devil May Cry!
The gaming world every week has something new and exciting to announce, whether it’s the latest scoop on games such as Halo Reach or Mario Galaxy 2, or the latest developments on things like Project Natal and the 3DS. Looking round all the gaming sites, everyone seems to be happy or excited about something. But last week shock and horror hit me like a proverbial brick to the face, as I heard, that finally, after its 10 year reign of [...]
Well, you heard my opinions on the Bayonetta demo, so maybe you’re wondering – what did I think of it in the end? I did indeed pick up a copy, and I’ve hacked away at it at every opportunity between the other things in my life (which now includes a job, which will explain why I’ve been a bit quieter of late). But now I have finally completed it, and played a little more, and I can bring you my [...]
