When I saw Dante's Inferno, all I could think of was God of War. It looked exactly the same, but with different enemies and environments, and to be honest, I thought the ease of God of War which really pushed the game from fun to mediocre would carry over to Dante's Inferno as well. You can therefore understand my surprise when, after picking up Dante's Inferno for 20 bucks, I was greeted with a more dynamic, balanced, and challenging version of God of War which really drew me into the hellish world that Dante describes in the first book of his Divine Comedy.

Borderlands Review

"Porky Pig had changed quite a bit since his Looney Tune days...
After the show went under and he got the bad news,
Porky couldn't find a job anywhere due to his sp-p-p-peech impediment.
Desperately resorting to drug tests and shady back-room deals to sustain his measly living standards in the poor part of town,
Porky was implemented in the homicide of a politician's brother when a mugging went bad.
He found himself banished to the barren wasteland, Pandora,
where he was meant to waste away or be eaten alive by the local wildlife.
Porky was just trying to make ends meet.
Porky didn't mean to take anyone's life.
But now, after being hunted day in and out for decades,
Porky the Motherf***ing Badass Pig is NOT dicking around.
He will rise to the top.
He will crush those in his way.
Even if he becomes grotesque, gigantic, or nigh-unrecognizable,
Porky. Will. Fight."

When I first saw Borderlands, I thought it was a really strange game and I couldn't figure out why people enjoyed playing it or how the hell it got runner-up as game of the year. However, after playing it for several hours at a friend's house, I realized that this game is gameplay dynamite.

Devil May Cry 4 Review

"You got a jacked up notion of fair play, pal, and it's beginning to piss me off."
Some gamers may bemoan Devil May Cry's gameplay style and its initially awkward combat system, but if you're looking for a fast action, no bars, stylish hack and slash that'll unapologetically kick your ass (you masochist), look no further than Devil May Cry 4.
