Review: Devil May Cry HD Collection

Sliding across the bar room floor gun in hand pizza in mouth shouting WOOHOO! Yes this is the Dante I remember. Before Ninja Theory attempt to recreate one of the PlayStation 2s most influential franchises Capcom is giving us one more glimpse at a series that stands in stark contrast to recent game design trends. Before games got serious and seriously easy Devil May Cry challenged players in both their buttonmashing and perception of what a 3D actionadventure could be on modern hardware.
