QCF: DmC: Devil May Cry

inja Theory incites a bit of a binary response whenever you mention their name. They’re either applauded for their expertise in captivating characterization and cinematic presentation that’s ahead of the curve amongst today’s games, or they’re lambasted for compromising gameplay for presentation with shoddy technical execution of the core design down to even the most fundamental game mechanics. The Devil May Cry series is praised for both of these aspects. As you can see, the hit-or-miss studio had their work cut out for them rebooting the celebrated demon-slaying franchise in the manner they aimed for when the game was first showcased back in 2010.

Bullet Heaven Episode S207 - U.N. Squadron

It takes an awful lot to become one of my favorite games of all time. U.N. Squadron (a.k.a Area 88) for the Super NES was one of the cornerstones of my 16-Bit gaming life and even before I had anywhere near a decent interest in Shmups, this one was still one of my favorites. Does it hold up today?
