Retro Review: DMC: Devil May Cry

by Patrick Hickey Jr. | Sep 3, 2026 | 2010s, Reviews

Hilarious and sexy, this “Devil May Cry” will appeal to fans of the original more than the other games in the series. The world and gamers have changed quite a bit since the first game came out on the PlayStation 2 and this one on the 360 manages to grow with the...

by Patrick Hickey Jr. | Aug 15, 2026 | 2010s, Reviews

The first major expansion for the “Dragon’s Dogma” series, “Dark Arisen” comes with plenty of new weapons and enemies. For those who haven’t played the series yet, Capcom provides the type of title here that like an “Elder Scrolls,” “Fallout” or “Diablo” fan can...

by William Schwartz | Aug 9, 2026 | 2020s, Console/Handheld, Gaming, Reviews

  Technically speaking the box sold by Homebrew Factory just says Yap, but the original game by CeL does have the full subtitle, which is also a lot easier to search for. Bit of a weird name for a hero. I do like his character design though. He’s like...

A review of Dragon Age II from Boss Fight Books

by William Schwartz | Aug 5, 2026 | 2010s, 2020s, Bookshelf, Console/Handheld, Reviews
