Nice work man. Your Devil May Cry 2 review was a good read. I was expecting you to go off on it a little more like you did with PS HOME but its still great. Definitely a great series of reviews you are doing.
I was hoping to see a return of Phil though:

Great job, m8! I had to click on the image of the crying one-eyed devil to get the running joke though.
Overall a well thought out review that wasnt just a ton of game bashing; you explained your positions and weighed the pros and cons very well I thought. I liked the part at the beginning with the Nazi blimp bursting into flames forshadowing what would happen to the game. The new heroine is stunning and I'm glad you posted her all over your review and the homepage. Nice work with the unique headers by the way. I really like the Friday the 13th header for the review I wrote. I may have to get back to my keyboard the next time a movie I am hyped over fails to deliver.
I PM you. Let's meet up in Home sometime and bash the new Places.

One part of my review seems to be everyone's favorite:
Dante has become a stoic, silent hero like Clint Eastwood's 'Blondie' from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" instead of a wise-cracking, rebellious figure more along the lines of Eddie Murphy in "Beverly Hills Cop". It is a complete character reversal, and it's so abrupt that you can't shake the feeling that this Dante is some kind of evil impostor. What happened after the events of Devil May Cry to make Dante act and behave so completely different? Did Trish dump him, and he took it too hard? That would explain Trish's absence from the sequel.
*Cthulhu's phone ringing*
Cthulhu: "Cthulhu, fhtagn?"
Dante: "..."
Cthulhu: "Who is this? Is this Dante?"
Dante: "..."
Cthulhu: "Christ, I played the first game, I know you can fucking talk. Why the hell don't you talk anymore?"
Dante: "... Dunno."
Cthulhu: "It's Trish, huh?"
Dante: "..."
Cthulhu: "Shiiiiit, I told you that hoe wasn't nothin' but trouble for ya, man. She crashes at your place, strokes Alastor a few times, and then she leaves ya. You're better off without that crazy bitch."
Dante: "..."
Cthulhu: "Trish didn't cut your balls off and hide them in a shoe box, did she?"
Dante: "... No."
Cthulhu: "Then quit acting like a little emo fag and get on with your life. Hell let's get together like old times."
Dante: "Whatcha got in mind?"
Cthulhu: "I'll start a few cults so you can bust heads, then we'll go out for a few beers. It'll get your mind off Thunder-Whore."
Dante: "Thanks man."
Cthulhu: "I'll start some shit up down on 10th Ave across from Popeye's Chicken and Biscuts. Peace!"
*Cthulhu hangs up*
