I hear Tom Cuise hates mudkips

Indeed he does! Anyway this is my catch-up blog seeing as how I missed one, but yes I'm supposed to blog about games! Ha this beats report writing anyday, Nicky and Will you guys rock!
Anyway, several people have already called me insane for my views of Burnout Paradise but I honestly much prefer the older Burnout games, I don't mind the new open-world approach but I hate the lack of any menu option whatsoever, and the strange emission of pretty much all the features of the older Burnout games doesn't sit well with me, as they say don't fix what's not broken, Criterion tried and failed. I still rate it pretty highly as a game, don't get me wrong but the earlier Burnout games were epic, Paradise is pretty standard in comparision.
However Capcom have proved to me that sequals can still work with the awesome Devil May Cry 4! Sure the new character Nero isn't as good as old Dante, but Dante is still there and the game itself is as awesome as ever, heck it's not as if Nero is bad either. The core game has been criticised for being short but DMC is all about replayability and on that it scores big points, there aren't many games I can complete and yet keep coming back to endlessly, but the DMC games are the best of the bunch. If you have any gamer sense in you then you need this game! And buy it on xbox 360 just to annoy some Sony fanboys, plus it's cheaper :D
