Ryan from Awesome Games writes: 'After dominating the PSOne market with the exceptional Resident Evil series, Devil May Cry was one of Japanese developer Capcoms earlier projects on the shiny new PlayStation 2, and it truly showcased the potential of the system. To label it as a hack and slash would simply not do it justice, Devil May Cry (henceforth referred to as DMC) represented a stylistic experiment that relied on the juxtaposition of seemingly disparate ideas which made up the formula for great success.'

Retrovolve: As a kid, I played my favorite games incessantly, which meant I listened to certain tracks over and over again. Just the thought of the Bubble Bobble theme makes me cringe. But while Ive heard some video game music far too much, there are also some amazing songs Ive barely heard at all. Sometimes, tracks are buried so far within games that its impossible to find them unless you know where to look. Some of them are catchy and others are just weird, but all of them are worth listening to.

"Zombiesaurus Games has released its short but tough freeware action platformer CastleMania which, if the title wasnt clue enough already, is a tribute to retro Castlevania games. CastleMania was actually made for the NES Jam, which was held from September 1st to October 1st over on itch.io. So, yes, that means CastleMania was made in just 30 days. Oh, and good news it supports controllers as well as keyboards."

Chalgyr's Game Room writes: I am not a big fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy but it is a classic source of inspiration for fantasy stories. Aragorns Quest is based on Tolkiens work and lets you guide the aforementioned hero as he battles the minions of Sauron. Your purpose is to reach the Black Gate of Mordor so that Frodo throws the magical ring of the evil wizard into the lava of Mount Doom and destroys it once and for all.
