Devil May Cry 4 Review

Today we're welcoming a new writer to Variety's stable of freelance videogame reviewers: Leigh Capture008100000_bmp_jpgcopy Alexander. She writes for GamaSutra, WorldsinMotion, and GameSetWatch, and also runs her own highly enjoyable blog called Sexy Videogameland. Leigh's review of "Devil May Cry 4" just went online and, though I'm biased, I'd say it's totally worth checking out. Also check out Leigh's post on SVG about the women's fashion on display in DMC4, aptly titled "Ain't It Cold Down There?"

Excerpt from her review:

The next-gen debut of Capcom's successful punk-devil fighting franchise leaves every thread in place: stylish action flick aesthetic, cool-as-hell heroes, creepy Gothic vibe and adrenaline-rush destruction. "Devil May Cry 4" isn't too welcoming to rookies, but should more than satisfy the hardcore crowd by returning the series to its roots while also changing things up a bit with the addition of a new character, and his cool new abilities, against the backdrop of gorgeous, stunningly detailed environments. Solid sales amongst action game devotees seem assured.
