8bm's 2011 Game of the Year
Picking a game of the year is almost always a long, contemplative process. With more amazing video game releases than you could shake a Spriggan at, 2011 made our decision making process even more difficult than usual. All four of our staff members created their own top 10 of 2011 list, with only two games appearing on all four lists. However, only one of those games can be our 2011 Game of the...

WatchWhat you’re witnessing is an evolution of the Devil May Cry (DmC for short) franchise.
When I first saw early screens and videos of gameplay of the new game, I didn’t think Ninja Theory was honoring the series’ style and overall feel. It is, after all, the first time the series has been in an american developer’s hands.
