...from my previous, more meditative entry, I can officially tell you I will be getting *no* sleep tonight. @_@ Why? BECAUSE I GOT MY COPY OF DMC 3 AND HAVE BEEN PLAYING IT NON-STOP SINCE TEN THIS MORNING!!! ^_____________^
Fantastic. ^_________^ I do, however, have a self-imposed no videogames rule for Easter Sunday, just because it means I might spend a bit more time with the family. So no happy shiny cheese crack for me now til Monday. >_< But what shiny cheese crack it is! ^___^ It actually beats seventeen shades of supreme cool out of the first two games, which is saying something given how much I enjoyed (and re-enjoyed) both of them. It's definately cut from the same cloth as the first game, which should please just about everyone who played both (*I* liked DMC2 :p).
Now of course, I could sit here and do a big old review of the gameplay, graphics and all those other things they talk about on proper websites, but frankly I know my audience better than that. You just want to know about Dante and Vergil. ^___^ Dante appears to have been the supreme cheesemonger we know and love all his life, and may actually have been at his peak in his younger years. Really? Were you expecting it to be any different? ^____^ I'm not entirely keen on his voice actor for this game, although he does appear to have an interesting dub pedigree (...Kerberos in the Cardcaptors movie and more Digimon than you can shake a very big stick at. o_0). I mean, I know Dante's meant to be younger in this game, but you didn't have to lose the gruff entriely. o_0
Vergil, on the other hand, is a nasty, nasty man. o_0 Ohhh yes. I'm sure the fangirl legion will not be disappointed on this front. I, however, being of the Dante Luff, think he's a bit of a pooface. He's not very nice to Dante at all. >_<
Oh, and you: there's a character in it called Jester, who is, in fact, a jester. I'll try and get you a picture. ^_^
And just because I'm doing reviews, the new Doctor Who was decidedly ok. Granted it's only one episode in, but so far, Christopher Ecclescake is amusing, Billie isn't, and the plotline's a bit too comedic. But it's still a darn sight better than most things you'll find on Saturday night television.
