A few reviews of Devil May Cry 4 have started to hit the web, and EscapistMagazine.com has a pretty brutal, yet hilarious review of the game. Special thanks to JoyStiq.com for the tip-off to the review!
Dante…er…Nero disagrees!
Yahtzee (the reviewer) talks extremely fast, but he uses illustrations to put an emphasis on the sillier aspects of the game. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the review:
“Capcom tried to pull the wool over our eyes by creating a new character called Nero who is dressed and speaks exactly like the character Dante. They even dress the same except that Nero is more of a…”
“Devil May Cry 4 is a game that really wants for me to hate it – because everything about it is as aggressively juvenile as a 12-year-old on Pixie Stix™. But there’s really nothing wrong with the core combat gameplay…it’s as obsessed with style as anything else…”
“From the entire midpoint onwards, you revisit all of the previous levels in reverse order. This was a bad idea in Silent Hill 4 and time has not sweetened it.”
Caution: There is some profanity contained in the review!

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
