The Boston Phoenix - Mitch Krpata, December 21, 2007
This doesn't seem right. Winter (in North America) is usually the gaming doldrums, a barren stretch populated by budget titles and also-rans that would have been eaten alive during the holiday blitz. Gamers are lucky if they can get their hands on one premium title to last them through those long, cold nights. Not this year. After a historically stacked Christmas season, the gifts will keep on coming through spring.
With the release of the Devil May Cry series on Netflix, we take a moment to look back on this almost 20-year-old series and let you know the best of the best.
IMO
6. DMC2 6/10
5. DMC4 7.5/10 (Hated Nero, repeat bosses, Dante was the saving grace but only about half the game)
4. DmC 7.5/10 (solid overall, some great ideas, meh story, dialog sucked, and the director almost killed DMC)
3. DMC1 8.5/10 (all around solid)
2. DMC5 9/10 (carried by Dante & Nero gameplay, I didn’t like V’s, Nero’s better but still not a fan)
1. DCM3 10/10 (chef’s kiss)
Well, it worked.
This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.
WHAT!? who in their right mind would put 2 near the top (not at the bottom) unironically?
I think all of them are worth playing in their own right honestly, except 2 unless you REALLY want to experience the whole series.
I honestly don't know what the author was smoking, personally I'd rank DMC3 as no.1, maybe DMC5 as second, DMC1 as third, DMC4 as fourth, and DMC as fifth and DMC2 last. such a bizarre list, mybe the author just has strange taste.
"Devil May Cry 2 isn’t trash. It’s just misunderstood by a fanbase that doesn’t like change."
This and putting DMC 2 number 2 is all I need to ignore this ranking. DMC2 is absolute trash and it's clear this person doesn't understand exactly why.
All of the Super Smash Bros. games are incredible, but which one stands as the mightiest of them all and has the best modes?
To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.
I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.
Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.
5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee
Sakurai's views on cutscenes (and how quickly they'll be shared online) haven't really changed that much in 16 years.
Yeh it gets no easier on my bank balance
Sony Computer Entertainment has went above and beyond to ensure that all PLAYSTATION 3® owners will be find their means of entertainment throughout all genres.
With the marketing blitz Sony has provided, consumers worldwide are now becoming more knowledgeable about the PLAYSTATION 3® platform. Another telling fact is that, Microsoft has yet to officially announce any decent exclusives for the year 2008.
Xbots and Microkids are fully aware of what joy Sony will provide to gamers in 2008. As the year gets closer, Dark Sniper has noticed that sites such as XBOXKINGS.COM is being touted as the primary source for PS3 news. This insinuates in Dark Sniper's mind that fear has struck amongst all XBOX owners and with their very consoles impending the Red Rings of Doom, they soon will find themselves in heaven with the PLAYSTATION 3®.
$niper
Get a life, DarkSniper.
I hate to get my hopes up for a game that's probably going to be terrible, but I can't help but get excited about Harvey Birdman.
Also Burnout, Haze and GTA, but those ones are less likely to disappoint.
Q1 of 2008 will be huge
