[ad_1] We recently had the chance to check out a new build of Devil May Cry 5 at this year’s TGS, and came away pretty impressed by how its action and style make you feel cool while also giving substance to its combat. One thing that might cramp that style, however, is the presence of…
[ad_1] Shadow of the Tomb Raider, while a bit of bumpy-if-wild ride, is supposed to be the game that links the Lara Croft of the 2013 reboot to the Lara Croft who went on all kind of adventures and was a more, for lack of a better word, murderous. The current post-ending scene does make…

[ad_1] One of my biggest takeaways from playing Devil May Cry 5 at this year’s TGS is just how damn fun Dante’s motorcycle, The Cavaliere, is as a weapon. You can split it in half and wield it to eviscerate enemies, or just hop right on it and run them down. It was by far my…
