Beautiful Day
Today is a special day. 18 years ago today the greatest person to ever walk this earth was born. Her name is Victoria Chu. She finally decided to return to Otaku and she couldnt have picked a better time. I cant wait to get back to making my rounds and seeing how everyone is doing. I just read the comments from the last post and I want to say thanks to everyone who supported 311 and for sticking with me through my on and off adventures. To add a bit of spice to the site and nourish my writing skills I have decided to write game reviews from time to time. If you have a game you would like to me review or if you want me to post a review of your own, feel free to tell me. Also for my future writers, if you want your work to be seen or see the work of others you can join the author's lounge. It's on The Vampire Lesate's site (check friend's list). Let's see, did I miss anything??? Yeah, I have been trying to find something to add to this boring layout of mine, like a video or something. I saw my friend's myspace account and just put me and vicious to shame. But screw myspace, otaku is my space. Full of safe ppl to talk to and not raving 40 yr. old predators. Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY VICKY, I am going to get your present this weekend, I love you. And here is the review, please bear with me, there might be a few errors, seeing as I wrote this about 20 minutes ago and feel free to also rate the game. And finally is anyone interested in having a writer's corner on fridays or something. I can be a host. And we can come together and read each other's work and give constructive criticisms. Just a thought anywhere, here is the review, I rated it with Five Katanas, how many katanas to you give it?

Devil May Cry
Release: Oct. 16, 2001
Company: Capcom
Rating: 5 katanas

Capcom’s big hit, Devil May Cry contains one of the most influential characters in video game history. White hair covering the face, long coat, draped in red and black, and topped off with a pair of guns and a sword. The theme for this game is quite typical but there are so many other factors that make up for it. This blockbuster includes impressive graphics, excellent difficulty, precise gameplay, and a solid storyline all in one.

The protagonist for this masterpiece goes by the name Dante (The reigning champ). He is the typical foulmouthed rebel, equipped with groundbreaking attacks and beguiling catchphrases. He is a demon slayer for hire and whether he likes it or not he will fulfill the prophecy of his father that was a legendary demon by the name of Sparda. The theme of the beginning has a dark tone with a bit of humor to add a few highlights to the shadows. The pace is perfect and moves Dante right where he needs to be. The level starts out in this large castle that you will be in for the most part of the game. You are in it so long that you may forget that you still are until you run across an area you’ve previously been. Destroying, slashing, and shooting puppet minions aren’t the only things you’ll be doing throughout the duration of the game. There are parts where you have to use your strategic intellect to gain passage to the next level or to the next boss. The boss battles become quite repetitive but come with an added twist, making the gamers use different tactics to take out the enemy each time he comes back for more. To help defeat those malevolent bosses, Dante can upgrade and gain new weapons with the attainment of orbs that you acquire during gameplay. The gameplay allows Dante to be highly versatile in battle. So if you’re a “shoot em up” gamer, you can take out your foes with Ebony and Ivory, a sawed off shotgun, a rocket launcher, and a sharpshooter. Or if you are a “slice and dice gamer”, the Force’s Edge and the Alastor will surely suit the occasion. If that’s not enough just wait until you gain the devil trigger which gives Dante a little taste of what life is like behind the skin of his father. He has the ability to fly and shoot impactful thunderbolts while engulfed in lightning. Though temporary it gives you enough time to create a huge deficit in a boss’s health by enhancing speed and power. You will really need the devil trigger as the game progresses and the enemies become more irrefutable. The further you go through the game, the gorier and weirder it becomes. There is one level where you find yourself in what appears to be the body of a beast. It is also in that level where you find the most difficult enemies that take a lot of attacks to finish off. You get used to them after finding out their movements. Despite the weird change in environment, the plotline takes a few turns and becomes deeper.

After unleashing a world of pain on enemies, destroying bosses, and putting amulets in locked doors, you reach the final part of the game. Unlike all of the previous bosses, the final boss is quite easy. You may find that as a relief from all the previous hell you’ve overcome. The game also reveals more about Dante’s past at this point, giving the game a reasonable closure and plenty of room for a sequel. If you’re a hardcore gamer who enjoys 3D platform action games, I highly recommend this title, and if you haven’t played it by now, you are missing out on one of the best games to ever come out on a console period
