Some new information on Sony Online's upcoming game, The Agency, has sprung up on the net recently in the form of an interview with the games lead designer, Hal Milton and Design Director, Matt Wilson.
The Agency is a uniqueMMO for the Playstation 3 and PC that aims to give players a chance to be an international spy, as well as put the player in charge of running and maintaining their own agency of spies. It's early on in development, so little information has been released as of yet.
Throughout the interview, several new tidbits were unveiled about the game. For starters, the game will take place in three target cities, one from Central America, Eastern Europe, and East Asia. The exact cities have yet to be announced, but Prague, Paris, and Amsterdam have been discussed in previous interviews and previews. In each of these areas there will be several locations to visit from lots of different cities, giving the game a varied look and feel.
A large goal in the game is to build your own Agency of operatives, which are gained by having a good reputation. You will be limited to a certain number of agents, so picking the right combination of Agents is extremely important to complete specialized objectives. Agencies are essential to progress throughout the game.
The game will ship with several mini games, non-combat activities, and instance-based missions. Once players have mastered these quests and missions, new episodic content will be available for download soon after release, but no schedule has been announced as of yet. The plan is to have several smaller mission packs released, with larger downloads a possibility as well.

The friendly folks over at Razer recently sent us their full size Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, and this thing didn't disappoint.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them
