"With various sports titles coming out every year, there is one sport that is consistently overlooked in the sports genre scene, Cricket.
Ashes Cricket 2009 is fully licensed by Cricket Australia, the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) and the MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club, the world's most famous cricket club and owner of the Ashes urn), providing the most authentic Cricket game ever.
The Australian Team recently had hands on with the game, and going by their banter and impressions, I'm sure we can expect a top quality Cricket experience on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.
Some of the great features of Ashes Cricket 2009 include..."
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

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
The Epic Games Store continues to dish out free games and you can add two more to your library this week.
Not a huge cricketing fan, but it is great to see the games advancing like this. Especially when sportsmen do make valid comments about the gameplay.
It will be a hit in Europe and UK as well as India I'm sure. As that is the heart and soul of cricket.
but i just cant look a cricket ball in the eye and say 'no' its just such a good game, that, and cricket balls dont have eyes, lol
cant wait to play this, i hope its as good as you guys say
But I'd love a good cricket game and this looks like a great improvement with much more depth on the bowling/fielding side.
Would also love the resurrection of Jonah Lomu rugby from PS1 days. I loved that game to death. :D
It's nice they include this sport but where is the 360/PS3 Rugby League game? :)
