(the slowest preview in history)
on the shelves
* Devil May Cry 4 (gamestats.com) (and there’s a collectors version as well) – action slasher. Reviews say it’s a return to form of the original game (avoiding the problem of the two previous sequels.) It’s got the repetitive problems you’d expect from the fourth game in a series, but it still looks good (in some levels) and plays fun. The main character from the previous game is reduced to a cameo…until you beat the game and get the option to play thru it as him instead. PS3 requires a lengthy install before you get going, but then plays close to the XBOX360.
* Turok (gamestats.com) – dinosaur hunting with guns. There’s an unusual amount of variance in reviews. 1UP says the game seems unfinished (and the PS3 version more so, of course.) Play Magazine is joyous over the ability to shoot dinosaurs (and notes this is just a second tier FPS in the levels without them.) Maxim gives it a 2/5, but I’m not linking to Maxim.
