    Dante's isn't so bad.

    OK, firstly. I'd like to say this won't be an in-depth look into Dante's but just a quick summery of the games pro's and con's. I rented this game a couple of weeks back when it was just released. Everyone seemed to be comparing it to God or War, but as for me, i hadn't played a G.O.W game since the very first. I didn't expect a great deal mainly cause too many reviewers drew so much of a comparison to "other" games in the genre and immediately dismissed Dante's. I simply looked at this game on its own merits which were enjoyable battles, easy controls, well put together cut scenes and quite an addictive campaign. However the length and the final 3rd of the game blew it from being anything but an ok experience.  
    I'm not advising anyone to rush out into the shops tomorrow morning to pick Dante's up. I'm just asking for more people to give it a second chance. It's a decent game, plus with easy achievements.

The main protagonist, Dante, has the same red that when he swings his Scythe blend into his figure making him look like another Greek god that has red paint on his body. How...

       First and foremost, if you are an avid fan of The Divine Comedy, you are going to hate what EA has done to their Dante’s Inferno game. It is as blistered and altered and transformed from the original poem as you feared. I’ve joked before about video gamizing in the past, but Dante’s Inferno really raises the bar to downright sacrilegious levels. But if you avoid taking personal offense to how Dante’s Inferno butchers the legendary work that is The Divine Comedy (and for that matter, the legenda...
