DmC Devil May Cry is Fun. So Much Fun.

This is going to be a brief set of early impressions because I’ve barely played the game in question. That said, I still very much wanted to write about DmC Devil May Cry because of how much fun I’ve been having with the game, ever since I booted it up earlier this evening.

Now, I’m no Devil May Cry expert, but I do love action games in general, and games where you’re afforded a high degree of agility. DmC is one such game, judging by the hour-and-a-half I’ve spent with it so far. Dante feels incredibly smooth to control and has so many different kinds of moves at his disposal that it’s sort of amazing they all fit on a single controller.

DmC started off fun enough, but the point that the game really sank its claws into me is when I found two new weapons in addition to the sword Dante always carries around with him. The first weapon is Arbiter, a demonic axe that’s good for hitting things really hard.

Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - A Step in the Right Direction

In recent years, The Legend of Zelda series has suffered from no end of problems. While Zelda games released in the last seven years have consistently been “good” (some even “very good”), there’s always been something missing. Some crucial element that keeps them from attaining the immortality enjoyed by Ocarina of Time.

Infuriatingly, this certain “something” that is missing tends to be different in the case of every Zelda game, so it isn’t as though one can simply point to a single missing ingredient and identify it as the culprit.

Spider-Man Games Usually Have Such Great Music

Of every superhero, Spider-Man has probably not only been in the most games to date, but also the most good games to date. Great Spider-Man games date all the way back to the Sega Genesis, proceeding onto the PS1 generation—which is where they really started to come into their own—and the generations hence.

That said, while most of the Spider-Man games themselves have been fantastic, the one other outstanding quality they all seem to share in common is that they all have great music. I don't know why this is, precisely, but I would imagine it's because Spider-Man himself evokes a sense of enthusiasm and adventure, which makes it easy to compose fun, upbeat music for his games.

Below are just some of the tracks I've enjoyed from the Spider-Man games I've played. There are a lot more, of course, but these are the ones I seem to remember most fondly.
